Need confrimation

I've been researching putting 20" Moto 951's on 33's on my 04 Screw w/ a 2" autospring leveling kit. Everywhere I look, I get different answers. I hear they will be fine w/no rubbing. I hear they will only rub when you go backwards. And I've heard they rub realllll badly.

Does anyone here know for sure what will happen?

Also, if they do rub, what do you recommend doing; smaller wheel size , smaller tires, or both?

It depends on the width and backspacing on the wheels. Also, do you have a 4x4 or 4x2?

4x4

The width is 10'' for 20's....9" for 18's

Not sure on the backspacing...either 5.5 or 4.5???

I have sort of the same question, I'm looking at a 20 x 8.5 rim with 5" backspace and want to run a 305/55/20 Toyo tire, will this rub on an 05 4x4 with a 2.5" leveling kit ?

A 8.5 inch wheel with 5 inches of backspacing should work fine. I don't think a 10 inch wide wheel with only 4.5 inches of backspacing will fit.

I have Moto 951's with 305/55R20 Toyo open countrys and yes they will rub because of the 4.5 backspacing only when you turn real sharp you can actully trime out the plastic if you wanted to to reduce it but if you do any hardcore off roading take it easy on the turns OHH and I have the 2.5 daystar lvling kit. I also have the Superspring helpers on the back. Alot of people say you dont get any lift from helper springs but with the suppersprings you get about an inch useing the optional lift holes. And there easy to install and serve two perposes.
