1985 f150 4" lift with 35x14.5x15's?

Well i finally installed the 4" skyjacker lift and i am satisfied! but the 33x10.5x15 bfg ta ko's just dont cut it. i put an ad on craigslist for 35's and a guy has 35x14x15 ground hawgs he will sell me. i have 15x10 wheels to mount them, my question was how well will my truck turn them. It has 4.10 gears, aod tranny, 302 v8, 9" and d44. any input would be great!

and it also has aftermarket warn locking hubs

haha sure man you want a couple of the tires? the guy wants 600 for them

and yea i figured higher gears (numerically) wouldnt hurt but the 4.10s should be alright. hell ive seen 35s on f150 with 3.73's and even 3.55's!!

The truck will turn them, but they will rub like hell at full steering lock.

A 35 inch tire any wider than 12.5 inches looks rediculous on most vehicles. Gives the RC car look.

I would go for it.I have a buddy who has them on his 84 w/3'' body lift and they look good.He had to trim alot with just the 3'' though, but he didnt a good job and it doesnt look bad.
