20x9 Fuel Mavericks 20mm offset with 35x12.5R20 Toyo MT on leveled 06


In case it helps anyone out, I have a 2006 F150 FX4 with a front leveling kit( 2.5 or 3" not sure as I bought the truck leveled) and an extra 1" in the rear (has 3" block instead of 2"). Going by all the info I gathered I bought a set of 20x9 Fuel Mavericks with a 20mm offset and 5.75 BS and a set of 35x12.5R20 Toyo MT tires. Put them on this weekend and they fit great. They did rub in reverse so I had to trim a small corner off the front lower plastic air dam under the bumper and a small corner out of the stock FX4 fender flares but its where it wraps into the inner fender so its not seen. I was able to snip them off nice and clean with a pair of tin shears. Other than those 2 minor trims per side there is absolutely no rubbing lock to lock and didn't even have to trim the plastic inner fender liner like most people have to. Truck now looks awesome with 35's on a level. Heres some pictures...

I would have went with those but no one had anything that size in town. Also sorry about the random picture orientation. I don't why they keep uploading like that because they aren't like that in the original file.

Let me know if you have any other questions, hope this helps
Do you have full size shots of your truck with the wheels?

I put some wheels pretty similar to those on mine. Had the shop order some 315/70/17's which is almost 35 and similar and the tire hit in the front and rear when we turned the tires. You will have to do some trimming. I really didn't want to get into that, plus it looked like there was no room for wheel travel. I got the wheels of 4 wheel parts, then went to a tire shop that ordered the 35's which didn't fit so i went with some 33's they had in stock. the good part was they i didn't have to pay anything up front or deal with returning tires. also, i could go out in the bay and see how everything looked. So if possible i recommend taking your wheels to a local shop and have them get you the tires to be able to make sure everything fits/looks like you want

I think a 285/60R20 or 295/55R20 would be good. That's right at like a 33" tire. Going too large sucks and requires modifications... I'm finding that out the hard way. If you can post a side picture it can help us visualize what would fill it out the best without causing you issues.

On to my problem. Alright... So I ordered some 35x12.5R20 Federal Couragia MT's and they look great. One problem. They rub when I get close to full lock going forward and at about half turn in reverse with a 1/4" wheel spacer on the front. Anyone know how to get these to fit without going in to a full lift and rim setup? I've seen a guy that put a 2" spacer with similar sized tires (295/60R20 Trail Graps 34.5" tall by 12.13" wide) on a similar loaded truck as mine and did minor plastic trimming. Any suggestions other than the typical wheel spacer debate? If I go larger I will get a hub centric spacer and make sure it is properly torqued.

Not sure if this has been asked in here already, but does anyone know if I can fit a 305/70R17 on my stock 17" wheels? I have 1.5" spacers, but not sure if the tire is too wide for the rim.

Any help would be appreciated.
