Will they fit?

My 1986 F150 has a 4" rough country lift with 33" tires. I had 35x12.50s on it before that and they rubbed some but not terrible. I have the chance to buy 35x14.50 Boggers for around 500 dollars. The tires have pretty good tread left also. I was wondering if they would fit without rubbing issues.
Thanks

no.they will rub worse than the 12.50s you had on it.makeing the tire wider actually causes more rubbing issues than makeing it taller

Depends where the rubbed, and what offset you have on the rims, but most likely, you have more trouble with them than the 12.50's. Front is where you have the most trouble, since you have to clear the fenders on turns.

You are kidding, right? I think my grandmother who never drove a car and is 6' under could tell you that if you had a tire that rubbed, and you went to even a bigger tire, it would rub even worse!!

The 12.50s barely rubbed. So I was wondering if the 14.50s would rub to where I have a hard time turning or other issues. I knew they would rub I was just asking how bad you guys thought it would be.

The 12.50s were rubbing the radius arms.
