They will work fine on your stock wheels. You just have to find someone to mount them for you. I run 37x13.50x20 on my stock 20x8 wheels. Discount Tire wouldn't mount them, but a local off-road shop mounted them up for me with no issues. I now have 55k miles on these tires and they have worn very evenly.
I ran 35's on my stock wheels with no lift and they rubbed the radius arms at full lock. I then leveled my truck and they still rubbed the radius arms as expected. Then I swapped to the the 37's on the leveling kit and they still rubbed the radius arms as expected. I'm okay with the little bit of rubbing on the radius arms. Others may not be.
Well General Tire told me straight up they would not work on 7.5" rims that they would wear unevenly and crown. So I went and bought the new wheels today. The new wheels are pretty nice though I like them more than the stockers!
I just completed upgrading my tires with something a little more beefy also... 2” level and got the bigger tires. Mine had 18” rims and I stuck with them.
They way it came.
New tires and a level kit. Also Chrome Mirror covers.
With out adding a lift kit and putting 35s on my stock 2016 F250, Does this effect your speedometer or your transmission shift points? If so, what would be the fix?

Yes it will affect your speedo and possibly shift points but I am not completely sure on that point? You have a 2016 so you have much more flexibility in configuring your truck using Forscan. Plus the available tire options I’m sure were better for your model year than my 2012.
Well just a quick update. I have had to dismount/remount the tires to try and get them to balance. Having trouble getting them to ride smooth. We tried 6 oz. bags of balance beads to start and that failed miserably. So I did a little research and bought an 8 oz. Counteract bead kit based on their specs. Still the tires won't run smooth. So I called the Counteract people this morning and talked to a nice guy named Mike. He said he has had a bunch of calls about the General Grabbers and that many guys are having to use as much as 14 oz. of beads to get them to cooperate. So I ordered a 6 oz. bead kit this morning that will be here Wed. I think I will add 4 oz. to start to the 8 oz. already in the tire based on what he was saying. Time will tell.
I have not heard where beads help but only on slight balancing.
Use Road Force Balance and then weight balance. You need a lot more with larger tires.
The Road Force Balance machine will show where to position the tire on the wheel. It attempts to match the tire to the wheel and then does the standard lead weight placements.
The two methods do an excellent job of balancing. -> I know
Road Force Balancing will also determine if the wheels are bent or wobbling, provide an indication of out-of-round tires and provide a graph with numbers of the run-out for each wheel.
Another method is more extreme where the tires are balanced on the vehicle and shaved for a smooth ride.
Well my wheels are brand new right out of the box and better not be bent? I just think it is the tires themselves and they probably need someone who really knows how to balance large off road type tires. Like you mentioned.

entering the realm of 35+ and mud tread the tires become increasingly difficult to balance properly. Roadforce is definitely a must if you're going to be driving highway speeds. At low speeds the tires will "bounce" as the gaps between the tread are much more noticeable. I chased this issue for over 2 years and had 2 different shops balance my tires and both claimed they were as good as they could be. Had it done at the dealer with roadforce and I had no issues for 3000ish miles. So it's probably time to get them redone.
Well I should have come back to this to make a new update but you know life gets in the way. In any event the tire beads were a complete failure so I found a custom truck place not far from me that does wheel balancing among other things. I brought them to those guys and they charged me $125 to balance. I am starting to think though that they are not balanced properly and need the Road Force balance treatment as I feel uneven bouncing at around 70-75 mph.
