Ive looked and can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm buying wheels and tires. I'm going to 20x12 -44 and looking to run a 35. I've got a '12 fx4 with a 2" level. I will be doing a 6" lift in a couple months but for now I'm wanting to know if I can get away from having to cut my bumper? I don't mind cutting but don't want to cut the bumper.

 

No chance that fits with just a 2" level.

 

It will fit. But you won't be able to turn. Get the lift first.

 

Depending on how true to size the 35's are, you will probably still have to trim the bumper with a 12 wide wheel, even with a 6" lift.

 

I was running Stock 22"Rims a 2"Ready Lift on 285/55/22 Nitto G2's there 34.3 actual size. A touch of Plastic to trim was it. No metal.

 

Stock 22" rims are no where near 12" wide like OP stated he was looking at.

 

I just looked at my DoorJam 22" x 9".
12" Wide Rims, I ran 15x10 on my Explorer those were Wide.

 

Definitely won't fit. I ran 18x9 -12 and had to trim so much in the front door side that I was grinding metal to turn and it still rubbed. That was with 35s and a 2" level. Do the lift first it's far too much trouble beforehand.

 

yeah I had to trim a ****load of plastic as well as the bottoms of the flares to fit a 20x9 +18 with 35s and a 2.5" level. as others have said you'll still quite possibly have to cut even after the lift.
