Default Wheel width and offset question

Hi I have a 97 f150 4x4 and I want to put on a 3in body lift plus a 2.5in leveling kit and I can fit 35x12.50x20 tires with 20x10 wheels with a -24 offset, but what I'm wondering is is can I fit 35x12.50x20 tires with 20x12 wheels and a -44 offset? Any info helps!

you'll rub. Id stick with 33x12.50 and you'd probably be alright.

I understand that it would rub I'm just not sure how much I would have to cut out, or if its even worth going to the 20x12s and sticking to the 20x10s.

probably just a little off the front valence. 20x12's are worth it.

Thats what I was hoping to hear I'm not worried about trimming my valence, I'm mostly just worried about rubbing on the rear of the wheel well. Right now i have stock 17" wheels and my tires are stock size and I have 2" adapters and they rub the rear of the fender well at full lock on the drivers side.

anything is possible, I'm at -120.2mm offset on a leveling kit with 20x12's on 33's. But 35's is a whole different thing so j can't really comment I can only estimate based on what I've run ya know.

From the sounds of it I should be ok but I don't want to jump into it without a for sure answer. How much did you have to trim on your truck?

LOTS. Probably two inches out of the inside of the fender well and some of the metal front bumper and lots of the valence lol. But unless you get up and look behind the tire you can't tell.

I should be fine also considering you have a lot more offset than i would have, although I would love to have as much offset as you lol.
