this would be helpful if someone could answer this. Will a 20x10 wheel with 4.50" of backspace with a irok ss tire in a 36x13.50 tire work with a 2005 f150 with 9" of lift? anyrubbing? thanks alot.

 

The only thing that concerns me is the wheel. A 10 inch wide wheel with only 4.5 inches of backspacing is gonna stick out pretty far. If you have a wheel that was 9 inches wide or had 5.5 or 6 inches of backspacing, you would probably be fine.

 

thanks wandell, whats the factory wheels backspace?

 

what are my options if i keep my rims? they are 17x9 pro comp's with 4.625 in of backspace. I NEED BIGGER TIREs!! I have 35x12.50's BFG m/t on there right now. can i get the BFG in a 37x12.50 and use the wheels i got? will i rub or what?

 

The OEM wheels have 5.5 inches of backspacing. You could probably fit a 37x12.50 with you current wheels. If you want 20's, I'd just keep looking for a wheel with more backspacing.

 

wandell, i know i have small tires right now. what if i went with a 20x9 wheel with 5 1/2"s of backspace with a 35" tire will it be taller than the setup i have now? and will they stick out at all or sit flush with the fenders? iam looking for the wheel and tire to stick out.

 

A 9 inch wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing would stick out 1.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels. I think that would be perfect.

 

i want to run the 20x9 moto metal 951's but they are pretty high in backspacing, will they stick out?? and where the heck can you find them in a 20x9, all i see is 20x10 with 4.5 of backspace.

 

alright wandell, i found the 951's in a 20x9 with roughly 6.18" of backspacing. is this too much backspace? they only make that and a 20x10 w/ 4.5" of backspacing. will the wheels and tires stick out at all with the 20x9's?

 

Those would stick out an inch farther than the OEM wheels

 

6.18" of backspace too much?

 

I don't think so. It all depends on the look you want.

 

wandell, so with a wheel 20x9 with 5.5" of backspace, and a tire at 36x13.50" i will still have the wheel and tire stick out past the fender look?? or will it sit flush with the fender? i really want the look of the wheel and tire outside the fender. will it kinda look like my setup now? or will it be more in?

 

by the way my setup you see is 17x9 with 4.625 in of backspace and a 35x12.50 tire.

 

Yeah, a 9 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing will only stick out 1.5 inches farther that stock. You current wheels stick out about 2.5 inches farther than stock. If you like the stance you have now, I'd go with something close to your current wheel's specs.
