I would say you need a wider rim for that size tire. More like a 14'' wide one.

Fit.... Yes. Are you gonna be happy with what looks like ballon tires?.... I doubt it.

You're going to want to go 12 wide. Theres no need to go 14 wide. Sorry Roland not stepping on toes. 12 wide are perfect for that size tires.

Here's a link to my rims and tires 20x12s with 38x15.5s. If you're scared to cut your truck up don't get them. You'll have to trim the fenders and you'll have rub on the leaf springs under full lock. And running a 6" lift you may have other things to do. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-show-off.html

Edit. Here's what they do in action. Don't mind the language my wife got a little excited when she and everyone else though I was stuck. The first two are videos. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...w-off-pt2.html

Edit. If you scroll down on the first page with my truck and my old green Sonoma on the picture. You'll see my old set of 36x14.5s on 16x10" rims for comparison. They look ballooned.
