305/55/20 Terra Grapplers

I am buying 20x9 rims with 30mm offset. I have no lift. Will the 305/55/20 fit without rubbing, or will I have to do the 305/50/20? I know the 50 doesn't rub on that wheel with no lift, because I have talked to people that have them, but I would like to do the 55. Will it work? My truck is a 2005 Supercrew 4x4.

By the way, I did do a search. In fact, I did many searches and still can't find an answer, so please help.

That tire works out to be a 33x12.50-20. I think you are gonna need a leveling kit to fit them.

yeah, u will need a leveling kit, i was goin to do that wheel/tire package, but i decided on 17" with 33"S since tires are so expensive for 20"s and i just liked the beefier look of the 17"s cause theres more tire there...

BTW, go to Centerlinewheels.com and go to gallerys under trucks, and u can see a 4x4 F-150 with a leveling kit and that same tire setup...

Which leveling kit do you guys suggest? I hear the autospring one is better than the daystar. Is this true?

The only reason I'd say the Autospring lift is better is because it's a lot easier to install than the Daystar.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I got the tires from a local place for $259 per tire. Expensive, but they look and drive amazing!

04screw98cobra - Do you think those wheels and tires would have fit without the leveling kit?
