Need help with wheels KMC monsters

Hello Im new to this site. I just got a 2006 supercrew lariat and want to put wheels and tires on it. Looking a 20x9 monsters but want to know what tire will fit on it stock or do I have to put a leveling kit on it. looking at a wheel and tire package from wheelfire for $2039. Will the tires rub with 275/55/20. Thanks in advance.

You didn't mention if you have a 4x4 or 4x2. That's a pretty small tire so you should be fine either way.

Sorry it is a 4x4 and I had the tire size wrong. 285/50/20s is what comes with that package. Will it fit stock or do I need leveling kit.

If you want a "street truck" look, I would go a little larger, like a 305/50-20 since you have a 4x4 and level the truck by installing lowering shackles out back.
If you want an "off road" look, I'd suggest a 305/55-20 and level the truck by lifting the front slightly.

I just put on a set of 20x10 Monsters with 33x12.50's tonight. Stock ride height and just had to do a little trimming and use the BFH tool on the rear of the front wheel well. Looks better in the light...I'll get better pics soon. I would think that the 20x9's would fit with no trimming on the stock ride.

The price seems a little high for that small of a tire. Id check ebay before you purchase... those tires are tooooo small! 305/55 at least!

Yes, a 305/55-20 is approximately a 33x12.50.

I have 20x9 XD Monsters 5.71" BS and 33x12.5/20 Toyo M/Ts. Only rubbing is on the lower control arms at full lock in reverse and it doesn't rub bad at all.

So i got my wheels today. My question is do I need the hubcentric rings or can I go without. I called wheelfire and they said its lug centric so I dont need them. THe rings they sent me are to small so I want your opinion on this will I wreck something not using the rings. It seems to ride smooth so Im not sure.
