my bfg at aren't 12.5" wide like they are supposed to be. the tread comes in. not sure if that will solve your problem or not but you can kind of tell with this photo. look at the front right tire on the inside you can tell how the treads aren't as wide as the tire itself ill look for a better photo.

My wheels are 20x9 with 5.71 backspacing +12 offset 35.12.50 Toyo MT's with a 2.5AS. I have absolutly NO rubbing whatsoever with everyday driving(reverse, hitting bumps, turning, etc.) I wouldn't dare do any jumping or heavy off roading with my current setup. Im gonna go with a 6" Fabtech in the future. The lift manufacturers reccommend a wheel with 4.5" backspacing. There is a couple users on here that have the same wheel specs as I do thats running a Fabtech and like what brianjwilson posted previously, you couldnt run 35's with that backspacing on a non-lifted truck. So with that said, I bought these wheels and tires so i could run them with my leveled truck and when I lift, HOPEFULLY they will work. My local offroad shop said if you have a 20in wheel, you wont have any problems cause they are big enough around, not to rub anything. I posted on this topic before and people told me I needed to find a new shop, but there is users on here that run this exact setup without any problems. Something to consider. Here is some pics of what I had to cut and how far my tires stick out.

Before I sanded the rough edges

Liquid Metal Turbine Chrome - 20x9 - 4.75"

They stick out alittle past the factory flares....but not much. I have been checked when getting a sticker and passed so its not too bad out past the flares. Maybe a inch or inch and a quarter.

Not sure on the offset...I know these wheels have lowered in price alittle. They were $300 a piece, and now they are $239 each.


This is from the front bumper....the wheel is slightly turned out alittle bit.


This is from the rear bumper loooking forward obviously.


This is from right under the front emblem looking forward.

You can't see my rear tires from the front because the 6" lift pushes the front tires out alittle wider then the rears.

Also they have this wheel available in a 20x8.5 as well as the 20x9 that I have. Not sure if the 20x8.5 is available in F-150 bolt pattern though.
