I'm running a 305/55r20 on a 20" rim. Works out to be 33x12, close enough?

You could go less and not rub the UCA but I didn't want to trim the studs.

You could go with a 295 60 20. Tires measure out to 34" to 34.5" and are around 11.77" in width. They will give the look you are goin after w/o the UCA rub...ran em on my 2011FX4 with a 2" lift and had no problems.

Verify the brand and sizes. My 295 Terra Grapplers were extremely wide and gave me more problems than the 35x12.50.

Thanks for the replies guys, currently at a discount tire. Kid working here is telling me a 35 won't fit diameter wise with my 2", won't even test fit it for me....went on to say that levels affect different trims of F150s more than others. Example being that a 2" and a Platinum/FX4 will effect height more than on an XLT/Lariat. I'm about to run away....fast lol

2" is plenty for the diameter, it's the air dam and inner fender that gets you when turning mine was very minor trimming and I have zero rubbing. My local dealership sells new trucks on 2" levels with wheels and 35s all the time.

Yeah, I thought they would be good as well. Even referenced this thread and several others while in the store. And my buddies with trucks with similar setups. You know how guys get when you bring up the forum...they can't stand to think somebody may know more than them. Never had a discount experience quite like this... been a customer for years, given them lots of money. To top it off they wouldn't do my rotate and balance because my lugs were apparently swollen. Needless to say it was a waste of a trip. Back to the drawing board...very appreciative of yalls help and ideas thus far.

That's the one thing I don't like about discount or similar places. They're so afraid of lawsuits that anything that isn't stock size is met with the "it might rub..." response.

When I got mine, they didn't want to mount a 12" wide on what they thought was an 18" rim. I don't know if the 18" and 20" rims are different widths but he then realized his mistake after talking to someone else and said "oh yea, they'll fit, I dunno why I said 18's...."

I knew they'd fit. A buddy is running the exact same setup (minus being maxed out on the setting. He's 1.5" I'm at 2.25")

They said the same thing to me when I put a 265/75r16 on my ranger (31x10) from the stock 30" tires. They did rub on the sway bar when I turned at full lock.

Back to my fifty, I also have dp splined lugs and they wouldn't install them because the seating area is too small. I had to go around the corner to my buddy's and grab his spare set. I left and went to his place to re-install. All that extra bs cost me an hour swapping out to my splined ones.


Finally, they don't like spacers.

It's crazy how some of the larger chains have gotten so strict. The Quick Lane at the dealer near my work mounted and balanced my 35s with spacers and didn't even question it a bit and only charged $60.

No kidding. How hard is it to have a torque wrench on hand to check the torque of my spacer? Or even an impact gun that's set to a certain torque setting (much similar to ones found in manufacturing plants that produce vehicles and install wheels)
