will this lift/tire combo work?

I have a 2006 F-150 2wd supercab. I'm going to get the Fabtech 6" basic crossmember kit soon. I want to run some wide 33" tires with the Mickey Thompson Classic II rims in 18x10. The tires I like best are the Mickey Thompson Baja Radial ATZ. The size I was looking at were 375/50/18(33/14.76/18 per a calculator I found online). Will these fit on the rims I want and look ok with the 6" lift? I've seen some pics on here of some 4x4s with 6" lifts that hadn't upgraded there 33s yet and I thought they still looked pretty good. My 4x2 will be lower than these 4x4s with the same 6 inches of lift so I figure it will look even better. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions would be great too.

It will be close, but I think they will fit. It's hard to say because of the odd tire size. I know a member ran 325/60-18's (33x13.00) on 18x10 Mickey Thompson wheels with only a leveling kit and your truck would be taller than that with a 6 inch lift.

Thanks for the reply man. You think they might rub at full lock? Do you think it will leave too much tire to fender gap? It is true that a lifted 4x2 will be lower than a lifted 4x4, correct?

I'm not sure about the rubbing. Like I said, it's an odd tire size.
And yes, your 4x2 with a 6 inch lift is still gonna be about 2 inches lowerer than a 4x4 with a 6 inch lift.
