I have a 2009 ford f 150 with a 2.5 inch level and 20 inch rims. I am looking to put new tires on my truck and want to know if I can fit 35's without a problem of rubbing or anything else. I have 34's BFG AT Ko's on there right now but I wasn't sure if another inch would cause problems.

Depends on the offset of your wheels. My buddy has 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers and a 0 offset wheel on his '14 FX4. Needed some trimming, but they fit just fine.

What do you mean by the offset of the wheels and what did you trim? also I drive a platinum not sure if the wheel well is bigger due to the bigger rims

The offset of a wheel is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the center line of the wheel. The wheel offset is measured in millimeters and results in a positive, negative, or zero offset. For example, your factory wheels are a +44 offset, they sit inside the wheel well. If you were to get a negative offset wheel, say a -12, the wheels would stick outside the fender.

As far as trimming, the previous owner had to trim the bottom of the wheel well liner and a part of the lower fender flare. Your platinum has the same size wheel well as any F150 in your generation.

I'd go with some LT285x65x20 BFG's on the stock wheels. (34.5x12) the stock 20's have a deep backspacing so the tires will tuck inside the wheelwells and the sides of your truck will thank you!
