35" tires and Offset wheels won't fit - my tires are very close when turning so any offset would cause rubbing for sure on my truck

295/60R20 is the sweet spot for a level if you ask me. No rubbing anywhere, fills out the wheel wells quite well.

If I'm running 17" '13 raptor wheels with 315/70/17 BFG KO2's, would this wheel/tire setup work with a 6" lift kit?? I'm confused on if I need to jump up to an 18" wheel on a 6" lift. I'd rather keep this setup if I could.

Thank you berty. This is exactly what I was looking for! Your truck looks sweet! How much did you do for the levels? Looks like you still have some slope to it.

I did the Rough Country 2.5 with the 1" block in the rear. So with the front 2.5" spacers alone the truck was about .25" nose high. I decided to go with the kit with the added 1" block in the rear. This 1" block stacks on the factory block and gives me 1" of lift in the back bringing my end result to .75" of rake which is perfect for me because I do tow and haul and I like having a little of rake so I'm not squatting.


Thanks for your compliments, I really am proud of my truck And yes there is a slight slope to her, but the driveway is also sloped a pinch so probably not as much as you think you see in the picture.

Sorry for the newbie question, but how can you tell if the wheels are offset when checking stats? I have a similar issue on a 2012 F150 FX4 ecoboost & was thinking of using these wheels...

Ultra 205 Tempest

I see the offset column but don't know if that means in mm or not.

Did you have to change the gear ratio to compensate for the bigger tire diameter? I was told if I went more than like an inch above stock then you have to have it re geared. Right now I have the 3.55 rear axle.

Eh you don't HAVE to do anything. I'm running 34.5" tires still on stock 3.55 gears. A little more sluggish? Yeah maybe a little, I can still bark the tires though. If it becomes an issue you can always do it later, you're not going to break anything.

The offset column in that site is in mm.
