thanks

Heres my 17" Eagles wrapped in 33" Mud Grapplers.
Just imagine the combo a bit bigger for your truck

The black F150 I posted isn't mine, sorry if there was any confusion. That's a '91 2WD, 6 inch lift, 18 or 20 (think it's 20) inch Rockstars, with 35 inch mud grapplers

Okay thanks and also would 37's fit on mine with a 6" lift without needing to trim at all and no rubbing? Thanks
oh and also was wanting to know if anyone knows how much triming would be involved to fit 15.5" wide tires or if i even need to or if maybe spacers will move them out enough?
thanks

15.50 wides will need a rim with a very small amount of backspacing to fit without run, I think. And 37s under a 6 inch may be possible, but I would think there'd be a little trimming. I have seen 37s under a 6+3 lift though.

I can give you no concrete answers though, as I haven't and don't plan on lifting my current truck
