what you need then is ether the spacers, or less back spacing. being 15x10's may or may not help your issue (depending on backspaceing of thoughs rims), and as mentioned you would need fatter tires for 15x10's. if im correct all ford factory rims have a 4.5" back spaceing. so what you need is a 15x8 with a 3.75" back spacing and you will be golden. or the spacers.

Ya I'm running stock rims with 31.6 tires so I'm good except at full turn only because my torsion bars are so low. I actually contemplated switching to 2wd for a bit just to lift but that's pointless with the snow we get up here...

im not saying it wont work. im saying its not ideal, and that there is no reason for it. most tire manufaturers recomend a 7"-9" wide rim for a 10.5 wide tire. and having a fatter rim will not solve your problem. less back space will solve it. and that in my opinion a 15x10 rim with less back space will make your tires stick way out of your tire wells, and probably trash your front end. were as a 15x8 rim with a 3.75" back space will cure your rubbing issues, give your truck a wider more agressive stance, be within manufactures recomended withs for your tires, and not stick your tires out so far that cops will be pulling you over every 5 miles on the road, and not trash your front end. so yes im saying 15x8" with a 3.75" back space ( or a back space close to 3.75") is what you should do. as for rims. you can get tons of different rims in that size with that back space. its a verry common size.
