Default Will these tires fit my rims?

I have my tbar cranked up. And I read on here that I can fit 35s. What I'm wondering now is will these 35 x 12.5 r20 fit my 20in rims.

My rims are currently on 275/55R20 not sure how to determine if they will fit. There both 20in rim size don't know if there's other factors that go into it.

Also the guy that's selling them told me the rims he has on them are 20 x 8.50. Not sure how that translates either to what I have.

Btw going on a 99 f150 5.4 4x4

They should fit. Measure how wide your wheels are.

If he has 12.5's on 8.5 wides you'll be fine with an even wider rim

You are basically running 33's now, so if you have enough clearance, which you should have, you should be good to go. I know when I had my 33's on, I had bucket loads of clearance left, so you should also. Enjoy.

35's on 20's with any sort of a aggressive offset will rub.

35x12.50's on a 10" wide wheel with only torsion bars cranked no matter the offset is going to rub, especially if it's an aggressive offset or tread pattern.

He wasn't asking if it would rub though. He was asking if they'd fit the wheels.
