Rim help????

Aight i bought a set of 17'' incubus polterguiest rims with 31'' cooper mt's. About three weeks ago. Now i found a set of RVM 902 20'' rims i want. Anyone ever heard of these? Any pics of them on a f-150? Also i need to find a nice aggressive 33'' tire for them. I am willing to trade my brand new 17's and the tires for some 33'' tires to fit the 20's. Or i will be willing to take a loss and sell my 17'' rims and tires for cheap to have a little money to go buy some tires. Thanks for reading and hope i can find some help with my questions. Also i dont think i can run 35's on the 20 inch rims without rubbing because all i got on my 2005 4wd f-150 is a leveling kit. Geez im confused!!! LOL please help!!!

I'd suggest looking at the 305/55-20 (33x12.50) Nitto Tera Grapplers.

I think a 35" tire would look alot better than a 33" on a 20" rim.

No, I don't think you will fit 35's on an aftermarket wheel with only a leveling kit. What are the specs on those 20's?

specs are 20x8.5 a rather narrow rim. I wish 35's would fit. I would be willing to do sum trimming on that lil plastic peice under the bumper!!!

If they had like 6 inches of backspacing (or more) they may work, but it will be very tight and I'm sure you would have to do some trimming.

Stay with 6" of backspace and around 9" wide with your rims and you will be okay. I'm running the 20X9 with 6" backspace with 35" tires and no issues at all.
