MT 35x13.50x18 Baja Claws...On stockers?

I did search to see if anyone asked this and maybe i overlooked it, but im trying to see if by any chance these will fit my stock 18" 06 F-150 wheels w/a 2.5" AS? I love the way these look, just trying to keep from buying new wheels....Thanks for the help guys.

13.50 is really wide for the stock rim. even 12.50 is pushing it, some places wont mount 35x12.50 even if they will fit.

I agree. They are too wide for a 7.5 inch wide wheel.

WAY too wide. You should go no higher than a 12.5 on the stock wheels and even that's kind of close. You would need at least a 9 inch rim to run 13.5s safely.

if they can even get them on it will have a huge bulge in the middle of the tread (crown) and will wear ridiculously fast!

uh dont go with mud grapplers either. their huge side lugs will rub really bad, they are basically a 13.5 wide just because of those side lugs.

yeah i found out id prob have to run a 1/4 wheel spacer to keep the fronts from rubbing...

chenchio, are you saying you used no wheel spacer and yours dont rub? even at full lock out?

mine is a 4x4 if that means anything on clearance. I dont do a lot of driving, most of mine is straight forward long country roads anyway...but yes i knew of the rubbing issues, just being dumb and gonna go with them anyway, hopefully i wont regret it...been looking at these for too long now, finally pulling the trigger.
