Which Tires are Best | Need Opinions
So I've got a 2014 F150 with 2.5 inch RC leveling kit with rear blocks and added shocks. But now its time for tires. Judging by what I've seen people running on this site I've just about narrowed it down to 295/60/20 or 295/65/20 Trail grapplers or a true 35x12.50x20 Toyo Open Country M/T. I'm also still on the stock FX4 rims, 8.5 inch width I believe. So yeah, which setup would probably get the best look and least amount of trimming to rub as little as possible. And also if you are running a setup with either of these options, maybe post a picture?
Thank you all

I've test fitted a 35x12.50R20 on an F150 with 2.5" leveling kit and the wheel being 8.5" wide allowed the tire to rub the control arm. This does not happen on the 17" and 18" wheels as the tire gets squeezed together more due to being mounted on a wheel that is actually too narrow for the tire.
So you would need a small spacer (I don't recommend) which could possibly risk you rubbing the fender. Or buy some aftermarket 20" wheels with a little more offset.
