This Is the factory wheel I have


Hi guys, I am new to this forum. I read through the sticky on tire size but I did not have time to read all 104 pages so I thought I would post a quick question.

I have a 2012 F150 Supercrew 4x4. I am installing the 2" Autospring leveling kit to the front and keeping the rear stock height. I have the 2012 factory Chrome wheels that are listed as 20x8.5. I have not been able to find a backspacing spec.

I am wanting to install the biggest tire possible with out worring about any rubbing. I am thinking about the following Tires. The BFG KO2, Nitto Terra Grappler or the General Grappler. I live in Illinois so I want a good tire for the winter snow, but also want to have good tread life. I will post a pic of my wheel. Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Offset is +44mm

Sizes to consider
275/60/20
275/65/20
285/55/20
285/60/20
285/65/20
295/55/20
295/60/20
305/55/20

Not all sizes listed are available in the tires you listed, but all listed should fit without much, or any at all, rubbing. Trucks differ slightly so it's hard to say if it 100% will not rub.

I have the 1.5" AS level kit on my truck ... Here's a pic of it when I had the Nitto Terra Grappler 275/65r20's on it ...




That said, I recently changed to Cooper STT Pro 295/60r20's ... Same basic overall diameter, but slightly wider and more aggressive ...



I ran 1.25" spacers on the 275's since they are thinner and I wanted a slightly wider stance. I've taken them off now since I went with the 295's ... but the point is, either tire works just fine w/ or w/out spacers if you're using the factory wheels, which have an offset of +44mm

I just installed my 2" Hell Bent Steel level kit and stuffed 35x12.50x20 (Cooper Discovery STT's) on my stock rims. Tires have no rub on full lock on level ground however I did notice a slight rub going up a driveway at lock, not worried about it at all. I do very light off roading so i wouldn't mind an occasional rub here and there.

They have held up good so far I only have about 5000 miles on them. I will say they are heavy and the ride is not as good as I would have liked but they do look good!
