Undecided 18" rims/37s or 20" rims with 35s

This is a great thread. I'm torn between 18" rims and 37" tires or 20" rims and 35" tires for my 18' F250 XLT, 6,7m 3,55. Its silver and I'm looking for gunmetal rims. I'm trying to avoid rims sticking out past the fender flares much also want to avoid cutting plastic if possible, so looking for a +12 offset or more. My top choice right now is the raceline cluth 934G or a brand I've never heard of MKW M94. I just ordered a ready lift 2.5" w/ track bar kit on the front end and may go with bilstein or fox 2.0 shocks to replace the OEM rancho's. I know its personal preference but the tire guys are telling me no 12ply for 37" tires, only 10ply. I'll be pulling a 30ft toy hauler quarterly (schedule permitting) - the rest of the time it will be a daily driver. Any advice from anyone with this set up would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

35s don't fill it out enough. 37s looks great on a SD. But once mine wear out I'm going for a 40. By next year 37s will be the new 35

I measured today- and it doesn't look like you can fit a 37" spare underneath. Where are you carrying your spare 37"?

37s

I just got my 20x 9 0 offset SOTA offroad rehab wheels and 37x 12.5 NITTO ridge grapplers. I have a BDS 2" level, which put my truck (gas) with 1" high in the rear. I had 3.5" rake before level kit.
I had to a slight rub at rear corner of the fender. I trimmed the plastic tab and exposed the fender and then used a 2x4 to bend the corner over to give it some more clearance.
37" tires look bad ***. With my set up I should have gone with 35s so I didnt have to modify the fender but am real happy with how it looks.
With the 0 offset wheels I have 2" front and 1.75 stickout past the fenders so my next project will be the 1.75 bushwacker flares.

Truck looks great. I am currently debating between the 35 or 37 on a 2019 with 6.2. Did you notice a big difference in power?

I have the 4.30 gears and I didn't notice much of a difference. I also have a 5 star tuner so that really makes a difference in seat of the pants power. If I had to do it over again, I would go with LT295/65R20 E ridge grapplers for a little more clearance at the lower fender. (I only have a 2" BDS level)
