suspension lift question
I have a 1996 4x4 F-150 i want to lift 6"s and put 35's on. The fit guides all tell me to put 35x12.50's with fifteen inch wheels but i want to go bigger than 15 inch wheels could i do this without any scrubbing

Just make sure you don't fiddle with the backspacing if you go to a 16 or 16.5 rim. Changing backspacing may cause the tire to rub places where it normally wouldn't. Other than that you'll be fine.
