Default Wheel/Tire expert advice needed...

Guys-
i know i know another wheel question but this setup below has me stumped. From the pics i see and description of the truck its running the Mickey Thompson Classic ii's but in the 20x10 size with the ford 6x135 bolt pattern (these wheels only came with a 6 in backspace). Tire are also Mickey Thompson 325/50r20 ATZ pattern.

My question is how is this possible without any other mods other than a leveling kit as it seems to defy everything i can find online about what will work/what wont in regards to rubbing and clearance. i think it looks awesome and would love to copy the look on my 2007 but dont want to waste my $ if it wont work so any input/suggestions/feedback from the experts is more than welcome.

please see below pics, really appreciate the help!

Adam

325/50/20 is a 33 inch tire, I know guys running 325's with no problem. I would think that setup would rub the control arms a little bit especially with a 6inch backspace but it shouldnt rub anywhere else on the fenders. Not all fords are the exact same, some guys run 35's with no problem some cant but I would imagine he does rub the control arms though but maybe not.

thanks, John. It is more of the issue of backspace and width as that is a 13.5 in wide tire. anyone else have these m/t's on their truck without any more than a leveling lift?
