BFG AT/KO 285/65/20 or 285/55/20??

I have a 2008 F150 FX4 Super Crew with factory 20" wheels. I am installing a 2" AS front lift/leveling kit. New tires will be installed on the factory 20" wheels. Will the 285/65/20s fit without rubbing or do I need to step down to the 285/55/20?

I really like the looks of the 285/65/20s but don't want any interference issues and raising the vehicle higher is not an option - won't fit in my garage.

Anyone have this combo? Please advise.

The 285/65/20 on stock rims with a 2" level kit will work just fine. I've got a 2.5" lift on an 05 with aftermarket rims and that same tire with no issues. You will really like the looks and performance. Make sure to post up some pics when you have them mounted.

Do you think you could run the 305/55-20 with a 2.5 lift in the front on a 4x2?

Go with the 285/65/20's. I have 275/65/20's with a 2.5 AS but my tires are the Nitto TG's. No rubbing or issues. Just don't try and run too much air pressure. They are E rated tires to 80 psi. I started at 36 front and 34 rear and have been very pleased.

Post pics.
