06 Superduty lift / tire size

Hi all. I lifted my 06 f250 harley truck 4 inches about 4 months ago. I went with 35 inch dick cepek tires. I really wanted a 6 inch lift but the 4 inch fit my budget better. However, the 35 inch tires look too small on my truck with the 4 inch lift. Am I better off trying to fit 37s or 38s on a 4 inch lift or would I need to upgrade to a larger lift? My main concern is rubbing. I don't want to put bigger tires on my truck now and have them rub when I turn. Thanks in advance.

Not sure what wheels size, offset and back spacing your running but regardless your gonna have rubbing issues with either. You could maybe pull the fender liner back and space the bumper out a bit and not rub too bad with the 37's on flat ground but it's most likely still gonna hit the radius arms I've seen 6" and 37's work but it still rubbed a little but it was semi livable 38's aren't an option at all without at least an 8 in lift even the skinny ones or cut outs but don't do cut outs.

I'm running the 20 inch harley wheels and 2 inch spacers, not sure on the offset. It's strange it looks like I have plenty of room for the 37s but its probably just an optical allusion I assume.

Your have an effective -10mm offset. I have the same factory 20's, they have a 40mm positive offset. I think there is a good chance 37x12.50 will fit with possible minor adjustments on your end. This website has lots of wheel/tire fitments with pictures and info:
