It's not the height that worries me... it's how wide they are. I knew the tread was wider... but the sidewall is even wider than the tread. I'ts going to be a bit close. Honestly.... I just hope it only rubs at full-lock...that I can deal with.

Looks to be about 34.5 x 12.5 in standard size. You should be fine with an F-350. I had 35 x 12.5 on my 92 F-150 with a 4 inch lift with no issues.

I'm sure it will drop 1-2mpg.... but I have a DD/beater that gets 30mpg. So.... I drive that most of the time, anyway, lol! Luckily, I am literally driving 1/2 as much as I have over the past few years with my new work schedule.

Must be the current fad! I have been looking for a used focus but after talking with some guys at work I might look into a used vw TDI. They are talking 50 + mpg highway!

I would about KILL for a TDI if I could find one cheap enough. Or another Legacy.

I got this car for free, a bunch or foreign kids I worked with bought it, blew the clutch, and had to go home, so the left the title. Snatched it up... gave it to my dad while I was in school, (I had a truck) and got it back when I came home. Thing has 264,000 miles and more bondo than sheetmetal. But, it's AWD and gets 30mpg.
