can +4 = 35?

Is any one out there running 35X12.50 with a 4 inch suspension lift? it is time for new tires and i was wondering if i could run that big of a tire. Right now my 1999 F-150 super cab has 33X12.5 on 16.5X9.75 rims and a 4 in lift. If they fit, does any one have a pic of it so i could see what it looks like.
Thank you

Yes, 35's will fit fine with a 4" lift. Hell...I can fit 34's on my stock truck...


Take a look through this thread:

I would expect it to rub a little with full articulation. Street and for looks it would probably run fine. I had 34s on mine 98 and they needed clearance. Its that unexpected hard bottom where things get bad. My next set will be 35s, but I will clearance the fender wells.
Sorry, no pics for ya.

update!

OK, I figure I will update Ever one, so they will know the answer for future reference. I went out and bought the 35x12.5r16.5 BFG M/T's and tried to put them on. Only to find out that did NOT fit fine. They rubbed hard on the bumper. So took off the air dam on the bottom of the bumper and they still hit, I ended up cutting just a little off the bottom corner of the plastic bottom piece of the bumper,and now they fit with no problems.

If you have a 4wd, crank the torsion bars a little, it should help with the rubbing.
