Default will it fit?

I am wanting to install some 20x9 XD798 wheels with a -12mm. I would like the tires to be a 295/60/20. I am having bilstein 6112's installed this week at the max setting (2" of lift in front i think?), Will these tires fit with this set up without rubbing if the front crash bars are removed? I have seen this tire fit easily on the stock rims but i think the offset is difference.

What would be the issue if the front crash bar is removed?

I misread. Thought you said without removing crash bars. If you remove them then you won’t rub them but may need to trim some plastic.

I run 295/60/20 on 20x10 -16mm fuel wheels. When I had my 2" level it rubbed at full lock turning only. I trimmed a small amount of the crash bars to fix that.

I then removed the level and had to remove the front crash bars and trim the rears.

By rubbed, do you mean on the front crash bar or rears too? Do you have any pictures of this when you had the level on? Im curious how far this stuck out past the fender.

Also why did you take off the level?

With the level it slightly rubbed on front crash bars only at full lock.

Without the level it rubbed front and back all over the place.

I have no pictures with the level sorry.

I took the level out because my trucks purpose 99% of the time is towing. The 2" level plus weight on the rear bringing the front up made my CV angles unacceptable to me.
Also, I needed more rake to keep my truck level when towing.

Wow... that's a lot of levels...

Should have added a leaf or a bigger rear block so you could keep your height!

Well at least is sounds like the rubbing is minor even with a wider wheel and slightly larger offset than im anticipating...
