4in lift, can i run 35's?

I finially bought a 4in lift. I have a 1993 F-150, I plan on buying the tires sometime this week so i can have them both installed at the same time. I'm going to run BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM's. Whats the largest tire i run? I have 195's right now on stock suspension. Can i run 35's or possibly 37's? I would love to run 37 12.5 R15's

35's maybe.. not 37's.. my 6" lift would barely clear 37's and thats if my rim offset was just right..

35's will probably be the limit

I have a 95 bronco with a 3" lift and it BARELY fits 35's. (every once in a while you can hear it rub on a sharp and bouncing turn.

so 35's should definately fit with no problem, so even if 37's did fit snug, they'd rip up stuff inside as soon as you made a compressed suspension tight turn!

I wood stick with 33x12.5 I have a 1994 with a 6' lift 35x12.5 on 15x10 5.5 bs and when I run her the front tires rubbed on backs of the wheelwell openings. I say rubbed because with the help of a BFH I fix that problem
You could add a 3' body lift (cheap) and then run 35's
