Default Question On Backspacing/Offset

I'm looking at 20x9 Ballistic Jester wheels, 5.47 Backspacing and +12 offset

Considering i'm going with 295/55R20 Trail Grapplers (33x12x20), this should work, without rubbing? Correct?

I have a 2-1/2" Leveling Kit from Rough Country, and the truck is a 2013 F-150 STX 4x4

Please anyone with experience, help me out here. The BS/Offset game screws me up!

I'm running 305/55/20 trail grapplers on 20x9 fuel hostages with a +1mm offset and I rub just a tiny bit on full lock. That's with only a 2 inch level. So you will have more clearance, narrower tire, and closer to stock rim. You will be fine to run those without rubbing

I think you will be fine with that offset and tire size. I am running 33/12.5/20 with +01 and I have a very slight rub at full lock. I also have the 2.5 rough country level. So I think you will have no issues.

I have a friend that runs this setup exactly and said with a true 35x12.50 he had to trim just a bit. The usual. So.

I'm very happy with it. There's a little bit of drone when cruising around town, but on the highway it doesn't bother me one bit. Sounds awesome and looks even better. On a stock truck I would have to say the 6 inch tip might look out of place though.

Well I already have the 2-1/2" level on my truck and probably gonna TRY to stick some 33x12.5x18 mud graps on the stocks ( fingers crossed ) lol. And I have tow mirrors off a platty for it too lol. got'm for free so why not.

I'm doing either one of these

* MM Gibson Exhaust - Res Delete
* True Dual Dynomax Bullets/Weld In Magnaflow Tru-X/Res Delete
* Corsa Sport ( Quad Tip & Making It A True Dual System ) Weld In X Pipe

I work for company that messes with steel all day so I can have something fabbed up to make the Corsa into a dual.
