37s or 38's

I have a question hopefully someone can answer, I have a 1999 LD f250 w/ 6'suspension and 3' body, would 37's or 38's be a better fit that won't rub? also is there another website or company that produces 7 lug wheels. Pain in my *** ill tell you

Either will fit, rubbing depends on how wide the tire is and the wheel that they're going on. And iirc some people have found the 7 lug wheels over on tire rack.

Depends on how you like your women.

33's = A cup
35's = B cup
37's = C cup
38's = D cup

I like em big and bouncy, that is why I run 38x15.5's

37's would be a good choose. I prefer mine a little on the smaller side something between B's and C's.. LOL I'm going with 36's

Brother in law had 37 Toyo's, not sure the width, on 20" rims, looked really good. Pretty sure he had 9" total lift too. If you can fit 38's, do that IMO, what's an inch? Why stop at D's when DD's are available Know what I mean?

If I remember right the big difference between the 37 and 38's were costs of the tire. I seem to remember that's what deterred me (but eh memory could be going too...haha)


Here's mine with 37's and 20" rims:

You need to remeber the stress youll be puttin on your front end with big *** tires. Itsnot designed to run a 150lb wheel tire combo mudder. What comes stock on most trucks a 245? Ive gone through many cv halfshafts tie rods and ball joints. Thank god its all warrantied. I do love sitting on 37s and the best part is i only did it with 3" didnt need 9" of lift
