If you did a 4" lift you could fit bigger tires. I have 36's on my stock F350. You will want to go with a 15x10 wheel for the 33x12.5's. I have 16.5x10's AR Bajas on mine but there the same wheels as the eagle 58's. Do you mean the Eagle 186's? I like these wheels too depending on your color. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/15x10...spagenameZWDVW
Here is how mine looks.

Ok the 187's are the 186's with a simulated beadlock. Do you have a pic of your truck. That will help with wheels.

You have to host your pic of the truck on a site, or add to your gallery and then copy the link of the pic and hit the insert image button and paste the link.

Hey Chris I didn't know your truck had a stock stance... Are you sure?! That thing seems much too high. My brother's got an F250 HD (similar stock stance to the F350) and his 35s fill the wheel wells pretty good on 4" of lift...

Yea man my trucks suspension is all stock. I got it from the orig ownes, and his son is one of my good friends. He only does add a leafs to the chevys he buys. He didnt have to do that to mine lol. Ur bros truck is def taller then mine, his back looks the same, but my front is lower then his. PS he needs to get the center caps. I have 2 for the rears and 1 open one for the front. Lol Oh yea I want his front bumper lol.

Hmm... Well I guess it's just me but your truck seems WAY too tall to be stock...

And he doesn't want the centercaps, he's got them for his wheels but prefers to see the hubs sticking out like that. I don't understand it either

The eagle 58's are the same as mine.



The 187's are these


I like these but with your color, I dont think it would look right.

You cant go wrong with the 58's. 15x10 will look killer. I dont like most beadlock wheels, so ill vote for the ones I got.
