Nitto trail grappler help!? 295/60/r20

Hi guys
I have an opportunity to pick up a set of trail grapplers but am not sure if I can fit them on my truck without rubbing. I have a 2012 F150 FX4 with the stock 20's. The Grappler's are 295/60/R20's. Can I fit these without leveling kits, spacers or a lift? Answers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

No, they will not fit without some sort of modification to the suspension. That's a 35" tire you're talking about.

I had them on my 2007 4wd truck. I leveled 2" with Rancho Quiklifts and they cleared just fine on 20x9 5.71 backspace +18 offset wheels. When I put Bora 1.5" spacers on it the tires rubbed roughly, making it a -19 offset. MY understanding is the 2009+ have more wheel well room and can clear a 35x12.5 a bit easier than '04/'08.

More of a 34x12.

So, you're saying they will fit without me doing anything special? Just plug and play?

No. You'll need at least a level kit.

X2, anything 34" and bigger will need some level at minimal. I cleared 33x12.5 without a level on a 4wd, was snug but cleared.
