Question will nitto 305/55/20s rub?

The guy at the local truck accesories store thinks Moto Metal 951s & 305/55/20 Nittos will rub on my '07 4x2 screw with a 2.5 leveling, and that I should go with the 285/50/20 Nittos. Will i still get the same look/performance? Will it rub? What do you guys think? oh yeah, he also said don't believe what you read online!

It will depend on the width and backspacing of the wheels. If you are talking about the 20x10's (with like 4.5 inches of backspacing), I'd say he's right.

I'd suggest a narrower wheel with more backspacing. Like, 9 inches wide with 5.5 or 6 inches of backspacing.

I've never really cared about rims or saw what the big deal was about, spending all that money on things you can't even see while in your truck, until I laid my eyes on those Moto Metals those are the only rims I've ever wanted! choose a different wheel you say!? hhmmm, what to do...

Some of the Moto Metals are available with two different backspacing.

I haven't noticed any rubbing but my truck is a 4X4. I think the 4X4's start out a little taller!

Right. 4x4's sit about 2 inches taller than 4x2's.
