new wheels and tires?
I just ordered some new wheels. They are 20x9, 32mm offset with 6.25 inch backspace. With a 2.5" level kit will i be able to fit 33x12.5/20 or 305/55/20 tires? Will they rub anywhere? Any help is appreciated.

I have the same question. A lot of posts say the same old "yes 33's or 35's will fit with a level kit." I asked my tire shop and they said I could run 33's in the form of the 285 (32.6") but that the 33x12.5 will rub. I want to get rims and tires really bad, but I can't seem to get a solid answer on fitting 33x12.5 or 35x12.5 on my 08 lariat 4wd w/ a 2.5" level. Do I need to get 9" wide rims or the 10"wide ones, or does it matter. So specifically, can we fit 33x12.5 or 35x12.5 on our trucks or do we have to get the metric equivalent 33's? Thanks all you guys.

I have a 2006 FX4 and it has some 305 50 20 on a 8.5 inch rim, and there is no rubbing at all. That tire is equivalent to a 33 10.50 20 I believe. You should be fine.
