Tire size

I have a 1978 F150 custom std cab long bed with 351m and c6, stock height. I plan on putting a 4" lift on it. Would 35 x 12.50 x 15 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial Tires rub at all or would 33 x 12.50 x 15 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial Tires be better. Any responses are appriciated, thanks.

Hi Steve, I have a stock 78 F250 4x4. I do not think it sits to much higher than a 2wd. I have 33's on it. lots of room. Look at my gallery. Erv

32s fit stock, i get just a little rubbing when im at full lock and flexed with 32X11.50 bfg at's and 35s should be no problem with a 4" lift.

Go with 10 inch wide rims minimum with the correct back spacing, or they'll contact to stock radius arms with the drop brackets, I'd love a set of relocated stretched arms.

My truck is a 78 F-150 4x4 with a 4" Skyjacker suspension lift, 35" tires on 10" wheels. They fit perfectly, they look good, don't rub on anything (even off-roading), and I'm not sure, but I think 36" tires might work too.
