I'm looking at getting a set of KMC Misfits 20x9 with 0 offset for my 2013 FX4. I want to put 295/60/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers on there. The truck will have Bilsteins set at the highest setting, and a 3" block in the back. Will this setup work? I'm not opposed to a little trimming.

Which tire are you looking at in that size. Only thing I've found in that size are mts. Would rather have at but I really want that size.

FWIW, I spent most of the last year considering every possible tire and reading about every post on this site trying to make up my mind on what to put on my Platinum. Ultimately, I went with an Auto Spring 2" front level and 3" rear block and put on BFG 285/65R20s. I had BFG A/Ts on my last 2 trucks, so I guess I went with what I knew, but I could not be happier.
It's funny. In many of the pictures online, this tire looks kinda skinny on a lot of trucks, but in fact they're really meaty, plenty wide, and I love the result. Here's a couple bad iphone pics...I just think they're the perfect size for these trucks. No rubbing at all and I don't notice a difference in ride from stock.
Cheers,
Kenny

Man, love your truck, but do you have any pics of this setup with the blackwalls out?

For the guys that are running BFG AT KO's in 285/65 R20's I'm curious how the ride quality (stiffness, noise, etc) compares to other tires that you've had on. I'm currently running Goodyear Silent Armor's in 285/60 R20's. The tires ride extremely stiff at all pressures and they started shaking pretty bad despite multiple balances. Also, I just had the tires and rims Road Force Balanced and the ford dealer said that three of the four tires are bad. Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Exactly right. I think the Nittos may come in that size also - cant recall. That's my first choice for size, but if I have to opt for another size I still haven't decided on 275 or 295 which seem to be more available at the 70 height.

Currently have stock 17 x 9 wheels on truck and am looking at Black Rhino MOAB's. I have looked and I think I understand with the offset differential as the MOAB's only come in either +12 or -12 for our bolt pattern on a 17 x 9 wheel. If I have it right then with the +12 it should stick out roughly 3/4 to a full inch more and with the -12 roughly 1.5". Am I about right with my measurements?

Thanks. I don't have any but I know there's some pics on this site showing this setups without the white letters. Here's another poor picture of mine. Maybe an overcast day would produce better pics but I clearly have no photography talent either.
My BFGs 285/65R20 with level kit ride just about the same as the stock pirellis to me. The sidewall on the BFGs is stiffer but I think it's offset by the additional height. I also haven't had any balance or shaking issues. The BFGs are quiet too.
Thanks for the info and feedback. I think that I'll order the BFG's. Now I can't decide between the 305/55 or the 285/65.... I have my kings adjusted so the front is riding about 1.5" high; either way I may need to turn them up a bit.
