Well I know yours is a 250 and my truck is a 350, but when I had a 4'' lift I ran 36s and it looked real good and fit real good. My tires were 36x12.5 and they did rub a little when the wheel was cut all the way. I guess its gonna depend on how wide a tire your gonna run and I'm sure the rim offset will play a factor as well.

Do you see any rub w/your 6in lift and your 38s?

F250Growler are you sure your checkin for a 250 not a 350? Those lift sizes with the tire recommendations sound like the 350's recomendations.

Not trying to burst your bubble and start a problem. I know that site says that 36'' is good but I had a 4'' lift on my 350 with 36's and that yes I could have went a little bigger but not without it looking stuffed or unproportionate.
