I ask because before I installed the 35's on my truck, I suggested the 33's to my guy just to save a few $$$'s. He said he was certain they would fit without any cutting but he prefered the 35's purely for visual benefits. He said that extra 2" or so would fill the wheel well gap a tad more but, visually, look a lot better. I was sold.

We both have a level kit and 20" wheels on Toyo MT's.... though my wheels are an inch wider and different make.

Below is pics of the cutting that was required on mine.

Have a look inside your wheel arches and see if there are similar cuts performed. I can see them, possibly, slicing the plastic lip, but not the inner wheel wall... where, I'm told, the most rubbing occurs on 35" mudders. I couldn't tell by your pics.

Ohh, those look sweet on a maroon truck!

I've got the same thing on my Wedgewood Blue F250:



I'm thinking about putting 33's on there when I swap out the old 305's. I know they're about the same, but I'd like the extra width.

Looks sweet!

I really like the color of the truck. Tires/wheels look great on it.

Nope.

I don't see any trimming at all inside the guards.

Any pics of the front plastic skirt lip to see if they trimmed there?

Thanks for the pic.

What I suspected all along.

No cutting required on a late model F150 with a level kit/20" wheels and 33" Toyo MT's.

Cheers.
