I have just ordered an Icon 4.5" lift for my 2012 F250, I was planning on ordering BMF 20x9 wheels. 0 offset. 5.0 bs, with 37x13.50R20 Toyo MT tires
was told this will be fine and only minor trimming would be necessary.

My buddy just offered me his American Force EVO SS8 20x10 wheels,-25 offset,4.5 bs for $350 each. The deal is almost too hard to pass on however I do not want extreme rubbing issues when parking or maneuvering my 29 foot boat around? I do really want to run 37's though.

Any insight or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I'm curious about this as well.....I think in order to run a 37 you need to do the 20x9 or the 20x11 American Forces. I was looking at the 22x11 Forces with 37's for my truck and doing the Icon 4.5" setup.

I called AF and they seemed to think I could do a 285/55/22 on the 22x11's without any lift if I decided to stay with a shorter tire. That tire is 34.5" for comparison.

20x10 with -25 will likely rub with a 37" tire on a 4.5" lift. Unless you are willing to trim. Then you could make a go of it.

I'm still trying to dig up his name on Instagram, but this guy is running a 4" BDS 4-link with 24x12 AF wheels and 37x13.50-24 SS M16 tires on his '15 King Ranch. No idea how much trimming was involved, but he says it currently does not rub...

I have a Carli 4.5 which I think sits a little higher than an icon 4.5 and then I have a 6 in ouo traction block in the rear. On 20x10 forces my 37/12.50 trail grapplers rubbed a little bit. I had to space the bumper further forward and pull the inner liner back.

Before the forces I had 20x9 bmf novakanes and I spaced the bumper forward on those just a 1/4" and never touched anything until I went to the 10 wide forces. First pic is the bmfs second is the forces.

That's got to be more than 4.5 lift im running 35's with 22x12 and have way less gap then that.

6.0L your setup looks great! I can always add a TEI spacer if I need a little more clearance. Looks like you spaced your front bumper out more than a quarter inch though. I bought a 300lb Core front bumper and may need to do the same if possible. Looks like with minor mods the AF wheels will be the ones!

What steering stabilizer do you guys recommend, I thought the Icon setup was overpriced?
