Will this setup work with no cutting or rubbing?

After all my reading this feels like a setup that will work but thought maybe one of you guys could confirm.

Current:

2011 F150 Screw 4x4 Lariat OEM 20s

Planned:

Biltstein 5100 Adj Shocks set at 1.75"
BMF S.O.T.A. 20x9 0 offset
Either Nitto Trail 305/55/20 or Mickey ATZ 305/55/20

Am I good to go with this combo?

Thanks in advance

Well, for one thing, I'm not real sure about your 1.75" bilstein shock height. They have 3 choices of settings. I's more of a 0, 1, and 2" setting, but there is no in between selections. I put mine in at the max, and wound up with my front end 1/4 inch high, so replacement rear blocks were in order. If you go with the middle setting on the shocks, It will start to limit your tire size choices. The 305/55/20's are only a 33.2 inch tire. They should fit on your truck before leveling it. As for the wheel choice...... I'll step aside and let someone else pipe in. I got a bad feeling about 0 offset though.

Gotcha, I thougt I had read that the settings were more like 0, .74, 1.75, and 2.5 but either way I need close to 2" of lift to be at or just under leveled.

In another post someone suggested that 0 offset or about 5-5.5" of backspacing would be good for 305/55/20s so that's why I looked at the BMFs.

Maybe I misread. Are you thinking I'll need negative offset?

Thanks

Wandell is right, shouldn't have any issues, a 20x9 with 0 offset gives you a 5" backspace. Rule of thumb depending on the tire and rim width is if you stay between 5" - 6" backspace you should be okay.
