Couple questions...

Hey guys, about a month or so ago I got my hands on an '03 6.0 PSD Eddie Bauer. Here's my question: Right now it's lifted 6in. with 20in. kmc rockstars w/35x12.50 a/t tires...I'm wanting to ask if its possible with the lift I have to run 37x13.50s? From what i've read there's some pretty serious rubbing issues...but can most of the rubbing be trimmed?

Last question is more of a matter of opinion...Depending upon the answer to the previous question here are my ideas:

Keep current 20s with 35x12.50 toyo open country m/t's?

Upgrade to 22in. rockstars with 35x12.50 toyo open country m/t's? (Will this look odd? can't seem to find any photos)

OR (if 37's will fit)

Keep current 20s with 37x13.50 toyo open country m/t's?

Upgrade to 22in. rockstars with 37x13.50 open country m/t's?

I'm pretty sure I do want to upgrade to the 22s as long as they wouldn't look a little odd only with a 35in. tire? Hope my question isn't confusing...thanks for the opinions and help guys!

Man I wish I could help, but when it comes to Excursion tires and wheels I'm lost if their bigger than 265X16.

I have heard the offset on many of the after market wheels are all wrong for an Excursion. Don't know for sure but thats the word.

I think you could slide by with 37s with a 6in lift and if they rub the front fender, you could always put some washers on the bumper mount to push the bumper away from the tire. My opinion..you need atleast 37s with a 22in rim. FYI.. you will rub a small amount on the springs with 13.5 tires at full turn. I only know because my springs look shiny after I make a tight u turn.
