Yet Another Tire Question.....
I have been searching but can't find the right answer. I have a 2006 F-250 4x4,SC,LB and was curious if a set of 37x12.5 would fit without a lift. Maybe just a leveling kit.

This is where I get a little confused. The new style f 250/350 stock run a 33 or 35 tire. So if you put a leveling kit and taller rear blocks I don't see why 37/12.5 won't fit. They are only a couple inches taller and I think an inch and a half wider then the stock 35's. I think I am just going to do it and see what happens....

Please do and let us know. I think an F350 with leveling kit would fit, but will likely rub the control arms just based on the taller tire actually comes into the wheel well/control arm when turned.

On '05 and up stock trucks 35/12.5 fits nicely. 37/12.5 will not clear on stock suspension but can be squeezed on if you have the snow plow package (X code springs), but it is tight and will have some rubbing.

That dosen't make sense. If the truck is stock and has a stock suspension no snow plow prep or anything and has the stock 35x12.5 and you put a 2.5 level kit up front and taller rear blocks why wouldn't they fit? I understand if you turn and lock the wheels it might rub. And besides that most all tires you buy may say one size but when they are measured thay are slightly smaller. I am looking to buy a set of 37x12.5x18 and they manufacture states the overall diameter of the tire is 36.5. I am going to do a little more searching and see what I come up with. Thanks for the input!!
