Level/Tire/Wheel/Offset Question.

I have a 2005 Fx4

In a few weeks I plan on installing a 2.5" leveling kit on it. First Question is what is the best Kit? I keep reading about HBS and AS.


My next question is for the wheel tire package I want to get. I like a wider stance personally and I was thinking about this setup.

20x9" XD Spy with -12 Offset 4.53 backspacing
Toyo Open Country MT 33x12.5.X20


Will that tire wheel/offset fit with just a 2.5 level kit? Or will I have issues with rubbing?

And if it will rub will trimming solve it?

or should I just go with the 20x8.5" XD Spy with +18 Offset?

can't go wrong with an AS kit

-12 offset is a lot, use this calc. below to help with offset, remember to figure the extra width of the tire

That combo will fit, but personally, I'd go with a 9 inch wheel with 5 inches of backspacing.

I really had my heart on the Spy but I'm open to see some other options if i can get a wider look and Do little or no trimming at all.

Any ideas on wheel selection Im looking for a polished lip and black and polished wheel,

Now, if it's a wider look you want, the 9 inch wheel with 4.5 inches of BS may be what you want. They will stick out 2.5 inches farther than your OEM wheels. A 9 with 5 inches of BS will stick out 2 inches farther than your OEM wheels.
Also, if you want a black/silver combo, I'd look at the Fuel wheels. They have several black wheels with silver/machined accents.
