38" where will I rub??
I have 2006 F350 8" rize fourlink lift up front. Thinking about going with 38" tires. When my suspension cycles and the steering wheel is at full lock, what will be the areas that will rub, any and all areas.
Thanks, DB

I had some pretty bad rubbage with 8'' and 36's but they are 15.50 on a very aggressive offset. I trimmed my bumper and valance and clears fine now. I think you will still have some rubbing even with the right wheel. Like said above I think you will be fine with just minor trimming.

Even with trimming the valance/bumper area, they will still rub the lower aft corner of the wheel wells in the front, mostly when the suspension compresses. My truck has a VERY stiff set of springs, 8" lift and the same toyos as you. BTW, those Toyos are awsome. Very round (easy to balance well) and I got 60,000 plus on the first set. Try taking a couple lbs of pressure out of the rears to improve wear and ride.

wel if ur planning on actualy "wheelin" ur truck ur best to go with a smaller tire that fits..
otherwise the trucks body panels will pay the price..
"wrinkled fender corners" are a trademark sign of trucks that go offroad. hahhah...

Or, you could go with the Bushwacker cut-out fender flare. If you or a friend are good at body work you could trim the rear corner of the front fender wells. The Bushwackers give plenty of clearance, and I think you could even run a 40" tire if you wanted to...just a thought.
