No, I wish! This is the look I am going for, only difference on mine will be Boss Coilovers and probably Nitto Ridge Grappler 35x12.5x17.

The wheels are 0 Offset Method NV. I like the Method Mesh better though!

No modifications other than the 2.5" lift.

I'm not sure if there would be a difference or not between the SC and SCREW. I would think that differences would be from the firewall back. Maybe someone else in the know can chime in here. I can tell you though that with the stock Platinum wheels I couldn't have gone with a tire that was much wider than the BFG 285/65R20 KO2's. The clearance between the upper ball-joint and the tire sidewall is about the width of my thumb.

I currently have the kO'2 on stock platinum wheels 305/55R20 with no rubbing issues. I have leveling kit with 3 inch block in the rear with icon 2.5. Tomorrow I will add the front adjustable coilovers and post some pictures. My next step is the wheels/tires because I don't like spacers. I just don't want to add a super heavy wheel.

Thanks V8ray! That's good to know.

When I was shopping for tires I wanted 35" diameter or something real close to it. The 285/65R20 KO2's are 34.5" with an 11.5" section width (width at sidewall bulge). The next width/size up with the KO2's is 325/60R20 which are 35.3", but they have a section width of 13". With that tire the sidewall would be less than 1/8" from the ball-joint. That's too close for my liking!

My concern is this might not fill the wheel well up enough and will therefore be ugly, does anyone know if I can fit a 275/65r20 (34") on my truck with just the level kit and potentially some trimming but no other modifications? any help is appreciated and especially photos if you have achieved this look! Thanks!

Both of these vehicles have a 2.5" leveling kit w/305/55R20 tires. This is our std configuration.

The Oxford white 2016 F150 has 20x9 -18mm offset wheels. The Magnetic 2015 F150 has 20x9 0 offset wheels. The 20x9 0 offset wheel creates a very minor rubbing issue on the front crash bar, but the issue is so minor we have never made any modifications. My preference is 20x9 with between -20 through -12 mm offset.

These trucks look really awesome. So higher offsets are more likely to rub? So if I get an 18mm offset tire this will rub?

Matthew Jay, nice look! Question: would those tires work without a lift?

My truck is a 2016 Platiinum SCREW 4X4 FX4

I love the look, but don't want the lift. What K02 would you recommend that would come the closest with no rubbing or mods? Thanks much.

I don't know for sure, but tomorrow when it's light outside I'll take a look to see if anything would rub if the truck were lower by 2.5". It seems though that I remember someone on this forum with a truck that had these tires with no lift and no issues.

The offset references where the rim mounts to the truck. A 0 means the mount on the rim is centered on the width of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting point is more towards the street side of the rim. This pulls the tire in under the wheel well and can cause rubbing without the proper clearance. A negative offset means that the mount point is more towards the truck side of the rim and this pushes the rim/tire out from under the wheel well and is less likely to rub. {Disclaimer, I just learned what this all means about 20 minutes ago, so if I am wrong some PLEASE say so because I don't wamt to mislead anyone}
