235 mm = 9.25", so that fits with the sizing convention

Mine is the lowest model F250 LT that you can get. It was a base model 8 lug 4x4 with a C6 and 300 i6. Says right on te door tag they were 215s. I have a wonky set of axles though. They haven't ever been documented and are original.

...With 6" of total lift, I would def lean towards getting those 35's. The 33's would look too small, IMO...

35s should fit. Here's an idea if you're uncertain. Get a big piece of cardboard and measure and cut out a 35" circle to see how big the tire will be
