Default Would this wheel/tire combo work?

Hey everyone, I am new to this forum and need some help. I want to put a set set of nitto terras 325/60-20 (35'x13') with a set of moto metal 951 20x9 rims. I have a 2005 Fx4 with a 2.5 inch leveling kit. Would this work?

i think if you go to your nearest discount tire, they can tell you if it will or not. They are always very helpful to me. Hope that helps. Good luck

Make it a 35X12.50 and it will fit, with the right backspacing.

ha i work at a discount tire and the guys up front wont always know for sure wether or not it will work. there are stats in the computers that tell them theoretically what the biggest tire you can run is. but you can order them and try em out, if they dont work you wont have to pay for em and just order a different set

13's are a little wide for just a leveling kit, I'd try to stick to a 12.50 as Tide already pointed out. They may actually fit, but you'd probably have to do some trimming and have some rubbing when turning.

I always tell everyone to go there but they insist sometimes on trying their own set-up and then find out it wont work and sell what they just bought.

yeah discount is the way to go, a lot of times they will know what will or wont fit, but if not order it and you wont have to pay if it doesnt, ha its not like they wont sell the tire anyways.
