Default 305/50R20 tire with 20x9 +18mm wheel

Anyone running 305/50R20 tires with 20x9 +18mm wheel? Looking into some anthems and wondering if these will fit a 2014 fx4 screw without a front leveling kit and how far they stick out? Any and all pictures and comments are appreciated!

You'll be fine. The 305/50R20 tire is the same height as factory (within a tenth of an inch ). It is wider than factory though but not much. 30mm difference in section width.

If your FX4 has 275/55R20 tires on stock 8-1/2" wheels, then your wheels have a +44mm offset. The wheel & tire combination you are considering will have the tire setting 41mm further out compared to stock.

You may want to park your truck on a level surface and drop a weighted string down along side the fender and inline with the wheel center, then take a ruler and set it against the tire and see how much further out 41mm will position the tire in relation to the fender. You may be surprised.

Inner side clearance will be fine, your tires will actually gain 11mm of side clearance on the inside compared to stock and the 9" wheels will gain 19.65mm of side clearance.

I am still searching for the best wheel/tire combination for my truck. Like you, I want to run that size tire and do so without a leveling the truck. I am considering wheels with a +30mm offset and after measuring, I am not so sure I can do it without leveling. So I am interested in how this works out for you.
