Seriously TWW,
I know youre a newb so Im going easy on you. In the future please post all the info you can think of.
example:
I have 83 F150 4x4 with a 6" suspension lift and 3" body lift and I want to run 42x15x15 with 12" rims and I want to know if I have to run a wheel spacer to keep the tires from rubbing the fenders.
See...much more informative.
BTW wheel spacers are usually a bad idea anyway.

actually i think his question was put just fine...
but if i were to interject, i would say he has a 6" lift trying to run 15x35x15 tsl's. am i right
and you wouldnt be rubbin the fenders, you would be rubbing on arms or springs.
depends on yer backspacing dude.
im running 14.5 wides on a 10" rim, and rub only at full turn.
F wheel spacers guy...
will look like crud and ride like crud.
so yea, you prolly will rub a dub dub dooski

I have a 88f150 4" suspension 3" body lift 36x12.50x15 on 10" wide wheels. The way my truck sits now I have enough room to clear 38x12.50 or even 15" wide. The place you might have a problem rubbing is on the radius arms. If you havent lifted it yet you can get lift kits that have extended radius arms that are notched for better clearence.

Well if it breaks that gives a reason to sas. I am going to run mine untill it breaks. I will probably end up with 38" boggers or 40" ltb's. Future plans are 60 sas and 10 1/4" stearling rear with 4:88 or 5:12 gears detroit locker rear and I havent decided what to run in the front yet.
