Default Wheel size for 6 inch lift questions

I have a 2009 f150 4x4 lariat with 20inch chrome stock wheels. I'm currently running 35x12.50x20 tires in the stock rim. With a 6 inch rough country suspension lift and no wheel spacers. I had these wheels before with my leveling kit and wore them out after I got lift installed. Looking for a bigger tire and there is lot of wheel well left. What are my options? Will 37x13.5x20 fit with stock rim? I figured I'll need the wheel spacers to go any wider but to get any more height will I still be ok for fitment. Any one have any suggestions of what they run on 6 inch lift and what tires? And If stock wheel. Anyone have offset info or backspace of the 20 inch chrome rim?

Thanks

I will say we tried 37s on a 6 inch lift and it rubbed really bad. We had a 20 inch wheel. I wouldnt suggest trying to make a 37 on a 6 inch fit at all.

We had rubbing so hard, that it took the fender flare off the front drivers side of the truck. It was rubbing on the rear of the front fender wells.

What if I put blisten shocks in front and crank it up an extra notch. Think it will work.

I'm going to try the shocks first because I still have stok in front. Then see how it looks and measures up. May just try grab a 37 off a friends truck and try it out first. I'll take pictures of course.
