Tire question
Hey there everyone. I've got a 2008 F250 with a 8" FabTech lift sitting on 35's with stock rims. I'm looking at getting different tires, and trying to figure out the widest tire I can fit on stock rims. I believe the stocks are 9" wide. I've heard the thumbrules of "4-5" but I'm wondering what insight yall have. This isn't a daily driver for me, and I don't do much heavy towing. Thanks!

I've got 12.50s on my stock rims. Even though they aren't really wide enough for them. With 8" of lift, I would think you would be running 40s on some 20x12 rims. The is a lot of lift for just a 35. Must look a little goofy right now.

It does look a little goofy. Trying to fill up the wheel wells a little more. I'm not a big fan of big rims. I figure if I'm gonna pay for big tires, I'm gonna actually see what I spent money on. I'm thinkin of 38's or 40's

I'm running 37x12.50r18 on 18x9 +1 with only 3.5 inches of lift....and would rather have 38s. stock rims are 8 inches wide, and that's only the 20's. Smaller diameter wheels are even narrower. Anything smaller than 40's would look ridiculous with 8" of lift imo. But I'm not into the skateboarded stretches tire look either.
