Default Tire size help please.

I just put on some fuel wheels. 20x9 +20mm offset. I reinstalled the oem tires. 275/55/20. I'm wanting a little more aggressive tire. What wold look good on that size wheel. And what size could I use with no rubbing. I have a 2016FX4. No lift no level. The tires just look weak on there.

Want a nice look and performance. Thanks for any advice.

I have fuel contra 20x9 +20 on mine with a 2” level and run 305/55/20 ridge grapplers and have no rubbing/scrubbing and made no modifications. I’ve heard you could go up to 285/55/20 on stock height without rubbing which is almost a 33x11.5 tire but if you do decide to level your truck know you can fit 305/55/20 without crash bar modification or trimming with a +20 offset. I’d check customoffsets gallery to get some ideas of sizes that may work.

go with 285 60 20, with no lift and your offset you should be fine and it will look much better with the tires filling up the wheel well,.. this tire is a 33.5....

I went with 285 60 20 K02s on the same Fuel Blitz as yours but im ZERO offset so i did need to level....

Looks Amazing IMO...

Hey thanks for the info. I am going with the ko2. I would like a little more side wall. So I would like to go with the 285/60/20. My only concern is without a level it will realy fill up the front wheel well. But not the rear as much. Kinda have that now. Front tire has the illusion that its bigger than the rear because it fills the well so much more. I may have to at least level it to get the look I want. You are correct your truck looks great! So you feel if I go with the 285/60/20 KO2 I will be fine no rubbing no clearance issues? Then I can see what that looks like. And then decide if it needs leveled?

If you are stock I predict you may rub a little at full turn with 285/60/20. I have the same tire / offset as you and I barely miss rubbing with my level.

If you don't like the illusion of the front tire looking bigger than the back currently; why would this change with a bigger tire? Why not just do a level?

You'll rub with the 0 offset and no front lift, but not with the +18 offset and the tire size most talked about in this thread.

I run 17s, but the offset issue remains the same, regardless.
