35s or 37s?

Hey guys. I have a 03 f150 supercrew 5.4L 2wd and I am putting the fabtech 7.5" suspension lift on it soon. I know fabtech says to use 35s with this lift, but which would look better? 35s or 37s? Also, if I go 37s do I need the 1.5" daystar spacers? I plan on putting on a set of 17x9 mickey Thompson classic lock rims with the nitto terra grappler tires. I hear that the 35s are the best to go, and that 37s require to much trimming. I just want to know which ones will look better on the truck, thanks.

You won't be able to fit the 37's unless you do HEAVY trimming.

Not only would you need the spacer, you'd also need aftermarket control arms to run the spacer properly, and a body lift to clear 37's. You need a bare minimum of 10ish inches to clear them and even then you'd have to do some trimming.

I have a 6 inch Fabtech lift with 35s and I would think with a 7.5 inch lift you could fit 37s in there, but I am betting the guys above me have more experience...

Judging by your username your 4x4. So you having 6" is the equivalent of him having about 8-8.5ish.
