Bigger tires pull on your chassis, more weight gives all involved steering parts a hard time to work.
Going higher is just the inital cost. It always has a rat tail on it.

Im runnin 8in and 38*15.50s on my ford. Only rub on the drivers side leaf spring at full lock. Im gonna do the cut out flares and 44s when the 38s wear down a little, but these kumhos wear really good and i think its gonna be awhile.

Alot depends on the wheel. My tires stick out past the fender about 4.5in.

Better check the price on Bushwhacker cut out flares (cut outs if you intend on using them to clear bigger tires). There's a reason that I bought a lift and not Bushwhacker cut outs. Standard fender flares aren't very wide (about 2 -3 inches) and won't help with tire clearance, meaning that you are going to need an 8 inch lift for 38/39s unless you use the cut outs.
