Default Fuel wheels and tires

Hey guys.. while the long wait is going on for my blue flame lariat..i have decided to use this time to start shopping around for wheels and tires. I think ive pretty much made up my mind on the fuel maveriks now cant decide if i want them in 20x9 or 20x10 which is the way im thinking of leaning towards with 33 1250 20 tires.. my question is with 20x10 wheels and those size tires does anyone know if they will rub on a factory suspension truck? Ive been trying to find information but due to the truck being so new i guess i havent been able to find much i dont even know what the bolt pattern or offset for fitment is? Any help would be appreciated! here are the wheels and tires i am thinking of going with...

It all depends on the offset you use. With a 33" tire you might be okay, but the width of a 12.50 could be an issue on the big metal crash bars in the wheel well. Not sure if too many people have tried this on a 2015 yet. At our shop, we tried a 35x12.50 on an 18x9+12 offset rim, and it had major rubbing (unlike on 14 and older models).

My advise is don't stick the wheels out too much. Stick with a 9" +12. The 10" +12 will stick out way too far.

Bolt pattern on 2015 F150 is 6x135. (Similarly to what Expressway said..) If you're not lifting or leveling I'd stick with 20x9, positive offset and 33s at most. Going wider or taller means u need more space...

My plans are wideish 305/55/R20 (33.46'' diameter, 12.44'' width) tires on 20x9 +18 wheels with a level, and I'm hoping I don't have any rub. After what Expressway said I'm thinking maybe the 275/65 might be safer than 305/55, but maybe it'll be okay in 33.

I have those wheels in the 20x9 size. I know that the 20x10 with give the tire a littel more of a rounded look. Like others have said, offset is the key on whether it rubs or not. I went with a 34" tire but I did level my truck.

I have a similar question... I was thinking about bumping up to a 275/70R18 instead of the stock (275/60), which is 33.2'' and 11'' and combining that with a XD 18-8.5 18mm offset.
Basically I want a better AT tire that won't kill my mpg or drive and a more aggressive look without having to level. I can always keep stock but was hoping to get a slightly larger tire.
