I just bought a 2008 f250 crew cab short bed and its 100% stock, i hoping to remedy that very soon and so i was looking and tires and wheel combos. These are the tires and wheels I want

Wheels
Tires

Im not sure if they will fit without rubbing? if i should just level it or do i need a lift?

I wouldn't mind lifting it but im trying to spend the majority of my budget right now on performance and longevity upgrades, I also don't want to change the ride of the truck, for I fear a lift will make it ride crappy.

you are going to need at the very least a 2.5 leveling kit to fit 37s.

If you dont want to lift it or spend lots on suspension, Id drop down to a 35 inch tire

Well then im guessing i can run 35's/20's on stock suspension? Only reason i linked the 37" was because thats the smallest size they offered for a 20" wheel. Im pretty sure i really only want a 35 and would be happier saving a few bucks. Those wheels have an 18mm offset or i think they are available in 0mm offset, will that work without them rubbing one out? LOL (leveled) If i buy traction blocks, what size block should i get to keep the ride height the same?

Any sponsors are welcome to pm me a price on those tires and wheels in 35/20, id be happy to support if i financially can!

Both Eric (powerstrokin15) and myself as well as many others are running -24 offset with 35s on stock 250 suspension. It will rub the inner fender well if the suspension is flexed at full lock. Leveled you should have no issues especially with less offset
