Question 90 1 ton lift and tires.

I have seen a lot of this year with lift and tires but, my question is what will ACTUALLY fit with or with out a lift. my truck is stock as in no lift and stock tires and wheels. i want to put some 35X12.5-16r tires and wheels on it and i was wondering what back spacing and hight i can get with no lift. pretty sure 35's will fit with some trimming but does any one have any pics of it actually being done? if thats the case when i get my 4" lift can i throw 38's on it?

cant help ya on that body style. but 35's should clear, might need minor fender clearancing and possible spacing out the front bumper some.

is this for a f350 or f250.cus you can easily clear 37s if its a f350.so 38s will fit

the 90 F350 I recently bought happens to have 36-14.50-16.5 swampers on it. And it's stock! The key is the backspacing on the wheels. Mine sit in under the truck pretty well, no trimming was done or needed. At full lock turning left only, the tire rubs the spring a little bit, what's weird is that it doesn't always do it but most of the time does.

My real opinion though... I hate the tires on my truck, I think the wheels sit just a touch too far in. I would rather trim the bumper slightly and even the bottom corner of the fender SLIGHTLY than have my tires hit the springs.

If the weather is decent tomorrow, I will take a couple pics to post up.
