Default Wheel and Tire questions.

So I have a few questions. Can anyone tell me what the dimensions of the stock 20 inch rims on my 2013 FX4 is?

Next, I am looking at keeping my factory rims and going with bigger tires. I know that in order to fit 35's I would either need to go with a leveling kit or a lift. My question is, what is the widest tire that I can fit on the factory rim?

Looking at going with a 4 inch lift and 35's, but I don't want it to look funny if I can't put a wide enough tire on to offset the lift.

And lastly, if I do decide to go with some new wheels, any one have any recommendations? Pictures?

Anyone have a newer FX4 with a 4inch lift? Pictures?

Thanks in advance!

A 35x12.50 can fit with a leveling kit. With a lift kit, you probably want a little different offset to widen the stance. Nitto makes a 295 60 20, that would be my choice if I go to 20s.

But if you're going with a 4" lift, I'd for sure recommend 35s and wheels with an offset around 0 or -12 to give it a solid stance. Aftermarket wheels are tough to give advice on, they're all preference.. If you want wheels that a lot of people have but look pretty good, look into fuel or BMF. Overplayed but look good..

Do you know what back spacing and offset your wheels are? Thanks!

Thanks for all the info. Do you have any rubbing issues? If not, yes what backspace and offset do you have?

OK well I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the Bilstein 5100's, and some 295/60/20's. Do you guys think that setup with my stock rims will work out? Just concerned about the offset/backspace.
