Tire Size?

I'm thinking of putting the Rancho 4" lift on my 06 F150 Lariat Screw 4x4. My question is, what size tires would I get. I want to put 35's on my stock 20's but I'm not sure about anything else like width. I don't want to have rubbing issues. Thanks for any help.

I don't know what the stock backspacing is. Thats why I need the help with the tire size. I figured someone has to have done the same setup before. Thanks

The OEM 17 and 18 inch wheels are 7.5 inches wide and have 5.5 inches of backspacing. I'm not sure about the OEM 20's. I believe they are a little wider.

No not really. Your best source of information is sites like this where people can give you real world experiences. A lot of suspension companies have "fitment chart" but they are usually very, very conservative.
