Default 20x12 wheels with 6" lift

I'm thinking about getting some 20x12 wheels with a -44 offset and 35" Toyo open country mts. Is anyone running a similar setup to this on a 6" lift? I saw a 05 f150 running 20x12 wheels with mud graps with a 6" fabtech lift and he claimed to have no rubbing issues. Would it be possible to run that on a 6" rcx lift?

There will deff be rubbing issues if you run 35's. i have a 6 on 35's with 20x10 -24 and mine rubbed but I added an 1.5" leveling kit. Why do you think those trucks that are all decked out running those wheels with like a 9" running 35's cause they don't wanna rub that 10k$ paint job

I run something similar and had to trim a little plastic below the bumper.

I always wondered this too, I have 20x12 Rockstars -44 offest which is 4.77 backspacing. Most of the 6" lift companies recommend a 4.5 backspacing, but never say which size wheel...anymore input would be great!

Are they 20x12 though? I'm looking to run that setup on a 2004 fx4. I might end up ordering some blistein 5100s for up front

not sure if they are 20x12 the were on there when she bought the truck. i just need to trim maybe 1/2 inch off of the plastic wrap on the bottom of the bumper it honestly barley rubs just sounds horrible cause the of the hard plastic and the big lugs of the toyo m/t's

This was the f150 I was talking about earlier. He is running a 6" Fabtech lift with 20x12 Fuel Hostages wrapped in some mud grapplers and said he only needed minor trimming. I feel like you would need more than some "minor" trimming.

I will work .but if your ever go off roads.. it will hit the fender big time . the true measurement of tire inside the wheel wells is by flexing your suspension and turn your steering wheels . left and right . I bet the the guy on the Video . Don't know that tricks

9 inches is the widest you can run. without trimming
