installing a Readylift 2.25" front and 3" rear level at same time.
Tires are currently 275-60-20 KO2

Am I limiting myself with these wheels? I am hoping to move up to a 34ish tire eventually. Maybe a 275-65 or 295-60.

Can anyone provide some feedback and maybe some pics?

Thanks!!
I'm running Fuel Mavericks in a 20x9 +1 and a 275/60/20 BFG AT KO2. Currently no lift or level, and crash bars still in tact. No rubbing normally. Only has ever rubbed on an incline, in reverse, going over a bump.
Edge of the tire is about 1" past the outside of the fender.

Truck is a 2016 XLT SUPERCREW SPORT 4x4

Thanks so much for your comments.
Correct, plus I have Wrangler Duratracs which have large side lugs like a mud terrain tire which exacerbates things because it gives the tire a larger effective width (my understanding is tire width is measured to sidewall excluding lugs or other features). If you stay with a less aggressive tire that will also help.

I'm starting to think a sticky thread is needed for all of this kind of info because it's got to be the most oft-asked and confusing subject out there. Maybe I'll do that.

HeavyCal,
That may actually be a good idea.
I think there are a few initiatives at it right now, however the information is spread over several threads. If one could find a way of bringing all the information together in a centralized fashion, it could work...

Well I gave it a go but the only response was to say how it's been done before so f*ck it. Y'all can figure sh*t out for yourselves.

WOW!! HeavyCal, take a breath, calm down a bit, it's not that big of a deal. I'd hate to see you stroke out over something as simple as a thread. Your efforts are appreciated by those of us seeking information, however, nothing on this site is worth getting worked up over.

I have a 2.25" ready lift with 305/55/20 and 20x9 +18mm wheels and wish I could have done 0 offset but it wasn't offered in the wheels I wanted. No rubbing or trimming on my current set up.

HeavyCal,
I sincerely appreciate all the feedback you provided.
Hopefully others will see the value in consolidating all the information in one place.

Cheers bud

Thanks JB 1 TIME,
Would you happen to have any pics?

I appreciate the sentiment but you know how the adage goes, no good deed goes unpunished. I was ready to devote some time and effort to the idea but the best I could muster from folks is how others have already done it here. Took the wind out of the sails so to speak and was not encouraging, so I chose to abandon it. Glad I was able to help in this thread anyways.
