Default The NO RUBBING Thread

OK, my head is starting to spin rapidly as I pick through these threads for what the right tire size is for my new F-150. Everyone has a different wheel offset, width, diameter....and it is all very nice to look at, but none of it seems to get me where I need to go.

Here is my proposal - Post pics of trucks and wheel tire combos with NO RUBBING ONLY! Include tire and wheel sizes, along with a good truck description. Leveled/lifted or not. This way, folks like me can look at different combos THAT ACTUALLY WORK without having to modify or cut into our new pimp sleds. Because, really, that's what I would guess the common truck owner like myself is looking for. I believe most of us would prefer not to use a cutoff wheel on the new truck that hasn't even been washed for the first time, let alone had a payment made on it.

I have 20x9" Mayhem Warriors with 0 offset sitting in my garage while I wait to take delivery. I have been obsessing over what tire to put on them for weeks. What the right tire is for this setup is a complete (but fairly educated) guess at this point. Hopefully some worthy posters can help clear the air. Thank you in advance for your participation!

F-150lifts Boss ultimate lift set at 2.5" front and 2.5" block in rear replacing the 1.5" factory block for 1" of rear lift

20x9 +20 offset Fuel Nutz Wheels

NO rubbing and I didn't trim any plastic or have to remove or bend the crash bar

Others have your offset of wheel and had to cut plastic, either bend or cut out the crash bar and are limited to smaller tires than you would be able to fit with factory offset or a less aggressive offset like the +20 I have. I am not sure exactly what all the offsets are that work

2.5" rough country level. Factory blocks in the rear.

20x10 -19 offset Dropstar 645v wheels

305/50/20 nitto 420s tires

No rubbing at all and no trimming needed. Keep in mind I have a supercab so I don't have crashbars.

I was able to extrapolate from that thread that 285/65R18 will work. A 32.6" tire seems to be about the safe maximum diameter for the SCREW with 0 or less offset. 33" seems to be pushing it, and has about a 50/50 success rate with rubbing or not. I would like to hear from more folks who have had 33 work with no rub, with close to zero offset.

I posted this in the last thread also but I had the same size and offset wheel on my 2011. The 0 offset is caused rubbing with a 305/55/20 tire that didn't rub with the factory 20" wheels. I liked the more aggressive look but hated that it always seemed like I would rub on something I didn't before and the dremel got a lot of use. Luckily I didn't have crashbars to deal with on the 11. You could just plan on cutting and go with a bigger tire
