Tire Clearance
I have a 1999 F350 PSD with between 6-7 inches of lift in the front and 4 inches of lift in the back.
Can I run 16X10 inch rims with 4.52" backspacing with a 36X13.5 S.S. Irok radial?? Will this clear on the inside (backspacing) and on the fenders.... I could shim the front bumper out or alter it.
Thanks

Youll be fine with the fenders and bumper the way they are, where you have to worry is rubbing on the leaf springs when you turn hard right or left. Mine rub in parking lots, ive got about a quarter inch of space between my hub and steering stops on the the axle in the front when my tires hit. I think you will just barely clear. My tires are an inch taller than yours. My wheels are 9.5 wide with center spacing. That setup you have is what i want to run when these tires are toast. I dont have much experience with Superswamper but i can STRONGLY reccomend TOYO MTs i wont ever buy another tire except them they are the best.

Your tires should clear just fine. 13.5" wide you shouldnt see any rubbing. I have 36x15.5 and I get some rubbing on the spring at full lock. It doesnt bother me I just dont go to full lock. You should be fine with your setup
