If they aren't rubbing now, they certainly won't with a 6" kit.

^ i dont know squat about lifts, but it's a valid question. I have read something along these lines with some lift kits (that require higher offset wheels)

https://www.f150forum.com/f38/6-inch...13-fx4-259020/

several guys in this thread seem to run stock 18 wheels with no problem.

wrong !! RCX requires a wheel with the proper backspaceing to clear the lift spindle.. I believe it is 4.5"

yes sum kits do but was wondering if it was for the larger tire fitment or the rim itself rubbing...

just incase sum1 wants to kno in the future...

When using a stock wheel the maximum tire width is 11 ½. If you are in that range you will be okay. (that is straight from rcx)
