I am thinking about going with a 20x9 wheel with +18 and 5.71 BS. I would like to go with a 35x12.5x20 tire. Probably a Toyo M/T. I have a 2006 F-150 FX 4 with a 2.5in leveling kit and an extra leaf spring out back. Will this setup rub, can I fit it, any better suggestions?

Thanks guys!

 

Yes, they will rub. Either add more lift or go with a 33 inch tire.

 

How much cutting involved? Do I even want to go there, is it worth it?


What would be the best tire with this package if you think the rubbin issues will be a problem?

I currently have 285/65/20 on the truck and it looks OK, but the tires just seem to tall and not wide enough on the stock ford 20" rim. So with the new wheel dimensions above, what would be best:

a 34/11/20, which might look just as goofy but may be ok with the new wheels?

or

a 33/12.5/20?

would a 33 in tire look to small with the 2.5in leveling kit and leaf spring?

 

It seems most people with a leveling kit and aftermarket rims go with 33x12.50 or the 305/55/20 (almost the same size) and fit with minimal rubbing. The tires look proportional and really good IMO.

 

I dont think a 33" would look too small with only a leveling kit, the wheels are whats hurting you here.

 

Yeah, I agree, I need some new wheels. The ford stock 20" were great initially but I need something new.

How far will these stick out of the wheel well with the 33x12.5x20?

20x9 wheel with +18 and 5.71 BS

Is this a good way to go?

 

They wont stick out very far. Im rinning the same specs on a 18x9 with a 295/70/18 tire. Check my pics to see how they look.

 

I would like them to stick out just a little farther than that. not much though...

 

Those wheels will stick out about 1 1/4 inches farther than your OEM wheels.
