Default New tires

Just got my truck few weeks ago and already ordered 20 inch rims.
Now for the tires!!
So many threads on here about offsets +44 to -44
the wheels I ordered are +30


Will I be able to run 305/55/20
BF Goodrich allterain KO with this setup
I may need to add level kit to the front


2013 F150 screw


thanks for any info

Offset doesn't mean anything unless you list the width.

Spot on. my +20 20x9's are supposed to be getting dropped off today, and will be getting the nittos mounted this week, and on the truck this weekend.


You will need a leveling kit from what I have read.

If they are 9" wide on a +30 AND you have a 4WD truck, then it will be close. I have that size tire on a 9" wheel with a 0 offset and there is no way they would fit. They barely fit with a leveling kit.

I ran that size Nitto Terragrappler on my '11 Lariat 4x4 using the stock wheels. They cleared at stock height but were close to the upper control arm. I later leveled the truck just for appearance sake!





stock height.





After leveling 2 inches.

The Nitto's showed specs of 33.2x12.6 for the LT rated tire...BFG's usually run a little smaller for some reason. Usually the stock wheel specs or aftermarket ones with close to stock specs are the best to run larger tires without trimming.
