Picking up an 05 f150 xlt next Friday and just purchased the 6" bds lift for it, and need help with back spacing....I am going to order 20x9 wheels and need help with back spacing...I ordered toyo open country AT IIs in 35x12.5x20s

I want the tires to stick out a few inches...legally I can go 2" outside the fenders so close to that

Does anybody have 20x9s with 4.5" back spacing?

I have an 05 with an 8 inch BDS lift and 3 inch body.. I have 17X9 with 4.5 inch backspacing and nothing rubs.. My old rims where 17X8.5 but had 5.75 backspacing and the tie rod scratched the inside of the rim about 1/4 inch in..I run 40X13.5 tires btw.. I hope this helps you a little.

BDS will recommend a wheel offset and back spacing for you..

BDS was saying to do 5"-5.5" of backspacing because it will look best but from everyone I see running that it is too close to stock for me...So just wondering if anyone is running a 20x9 with 35x12.5s with 4.5" backspacing on a 6" lift...I would think running less backspace would open things up as far as clearance goes because everybody I talk to says offset and bs are the same so a -12offset should be same as 4.5" of BS right?

I went them to stick out about like this...This guy is running 35s with 6" and 4.5"bs

And would 20x10 with 5.5" of backspace give me the same look?

I do think the above pic is just a little far out, so I am going to go with the 20x9s with 5" of backspace to bring it in 1/2" and that should be just right...
