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.

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.
