Possible rubbing problem with 275 55 R20's?

A buddy of mine wants to sell me his old wheels and tires, and I was hoping to find out what you guys thought about this because I think I'm going to have a rubbing problem. Then again, my expertise is limited. What do you all think?

My truck:
2002 4x2 F150, has stock 255 70 r16 tires

The wheels and tires he wants to sell me:
Rims: Enke 20x9; Tires: Goodyear Eagle 275 55 r20's with 5K miles on them.
He wants to sell me all four wheels and tires for $850.

Will I have a rubbing problem installing these on my 4x2? Discount said that there would be no rub at all, but I call BS. They look friggin HUGE compared to my factory 16's. I'm sure some people on here should be able to tell me!! Thanks guys - I wish I had pics of the wheels but I don't (as of now, but I will in a couple of days).

Thanks for the help.

They should fit fine. That's the OEM size for the Harley Edition F-150's.

Nope, all the Harley Editions came with 20's. There are some companies that make 22 inch replicas of the Harely wheels. The new 2006 F-150 Harley Edition will be the first Ford with OEM 22's.

You should have no problem depending on the off set of the wheels. I ended up going from the stock size tire 275/45/20 up to 275/55/20 with no problems on my 00 HDF150. It even had the 2" drop in the front. Good luck!

Thanks for the expertise, guys. I had a feeling that Wandell was going to respond first They just looked like really huge wheels sitting next to my 255 70 16's!!

I think I'm gonna do it - $850 for Goodyear Eagles PLUS nice looking rims = stupidity if I don't take him up on it.

I'm going to post a picture of these - I now have one - may take an hour seeing as though I'm on dialup for the weekend, but it's coming. I want to see what you guys think of these and if they're worth it.

Pls - any comments or criticism is well appreciated.

I like those. I have a customer with an 05 Escalade running those.
