On my wife's truck, an 05 F250 4x4, there is a 6" Rough Country lift and 37x13.50R18s on 18x10 classic locks. The tires rub on the fenderflares when turning pretty often.
What's the best way to get rid of the rubbing? Add a leveling kit or maybe 18x9 rims? If I add a leveling kit, then I will need to boost the back up an equal amount to keep the present stance. Any suggestions?
Here's the truck.

When I had a 6" on my 04 I only had 35x12.5's and they didnt rub. I would say you have to go a touch higher or see the location they are rubbing and either trim, remove or bend out of the way. If they are rubbing at the fender near the door then you will have to go higher or smaller tires.

Odd. My setup is very similar. Except my wheels are 9" wide I believe, oh and they're 20"s but that shouldn't matter. My lift is a Fabtech, that shouldn't matter either.

Anyways, I don't get a fender rub at all. Not with either set of tires I've had on it (Toyo M/Ts and the Nittos). I do however rub the radius arm at full lock when turning left.

Do you have radius arm drops on there?
