tire and lift combos advice

I have an 07 f250 with an 8 inch lift and 37 13.50 r20 toyos. I was thinking of switching to an 18 inch rim and while I was doing it I was gonna change tires and just sell the ones i have they still have about 70% tread so they are probably worth a little still and Don't spend much money except on the truck and motorcycle. Could I go with 38's with out rubbing? I was think of either a 38 13.50 r18 or a the pro comp xAT's but i don't know if they make the 38.5 14.50 in an 18 inch rim size or not. Any advice is welcome. Its a real nice truck so I am not wanting to cut any of the fender. I love the big tall side wall look I guess I am just old school like that. Let me know what you guys think. Procomp 6006 20x9.5 8x6.5 Chrome 600629582 20 inch is the wheel currently on the truck.

You should be fine to run a 38" tire. I was running 38s with a 6" lift and minor trimming on the bumper.

Do you guys know if pro comp still makes a 38.5 14.50 tire? I look all over but can't seem to find on. It seems that options are limited once you get that big.

Not sure about Pro Comp, but I believe Pitbull tires offer a 38.5.
