It looks great, but are you positive that'll fit? That Lincoln looks lifted to me, not only that but there isn't anyone on here who has squeezed 20's and 35's under their truck without a lift.

Post pics, I'm interested in seeing this as it looks really good.

I saved the picture to my desktop and blew it up some. You can see under the front that it has a fabtech 6 inch suspension lift.

similar set up

i saw a similar set up at a ford dealership across the street from les schwab. it had a 2'' leveling put on by lesschwab with 35x12.50 cooper sst on 18x8.5 wheel. minor trimming and not scrubbing at full turn. i hope the stup works for me. the guy at les schwab said they have put the 35's on a couple of leveled f150's.

Best of luck, I hope it works! Can't wait to see it.

It may work if the wheel has enough backspacing. Do you know what the backspacing is?

backspacing

the wheels have a 6'' backspacing. do u think the tires will be flush with the fenders
or stick out about 1/2''?

That wheel would stick out 1/2 inch farther than the OEM 7.5 inch wheels. That combo may very well work. Only one way to find out for sure.
