Will this wheel/tire combination work?

I have a Fx4 with a 2.5' leveling kit and would like to know if this would work on my truck. 325/60-20 nitto terras and 20x9 moto metals 951.

No. As a general rule, with a leveling kit on the new 4x4's you can fit a 35x12.50 using the oem wheels or 33's with wider aftermarket wheels. A 325/60-20 is basically a 35x13.00-20 tire.

I don't think that they make a 20x9 that fits your truck yet only 20x10 let me know website if they do

I don't really know too much about wheels but on www.tiresdelivered.com there is a set of moto metals 951 20x9 with a 6x135 bolt pattern. Is that not what I need? the offset can be +18 or +30.

That's the right size, but you won't be able to fit 35's with them.

That link didn't list a wheel. The problem is wheel width and backspacing. The oem wheels are 20x8.5 inches with 5.5 inches of backspacing. 35x12.50's are a very, very tight fit with these. In fact some 35x12.50's will rub the upper control with the wheel pointed straight ahead and they all rub the upper control arms at full steering lock. Going to a differnt width or backspacing just makes matters worse.

Right. You just won't be able to fit 35's with them without more lift.
