OK, A little new here, but was reading over this thread and you guys are really helpful. Just need some tips for my set up. I got a 2005 F250 4x4 with the factory FX4 package. I just put a 2" level kit on the front(cups under the front coil springs. Other than that its stock suspension wise. I just ordered 20x10 wheels with a -25 offset and 35x12.50x20 tires. Basically will I have any issues and what can I do besides lift it more to not have these? Thanks in advance for the insight!

05 Harley 350 3" front and 3" rear leveling kit, no adj trac bar or trac bar drop down bracket
rims are 20x12 Lrg 104's -44 offset
Tires are cooper Discoverer STT's 35x12.50x20
Truck sits a little higher in the rear then I would have liked, should have got only a 2" blocks or even smaller in the rear.
Fronts rub SO bad almost makes me not want to drive it.
Front drivers side clips the rear bottom of the fender to the point it almost rips it off. I don't get how some of you guys run a 20x12 with 35's and only do minor plastic trimming on the inside well plastics.
It must be due to no trac bar drop bracket causing the axle to shift and rub hard.... What do you guys think?
Also selling this setup to go chrome...PM if interested..

I've decided to go with 20" wheels, but have a couple of questions. I like the deep lip look, but just don't think I can go with the 20x12s...I'm afraid they'll just be too wide for a leveled truck. I've found wheels that I like that are 20x9 and 20x10 with offsets from 0 to -24. How deep of a lip are you guys seeing on your wheels? Also, what is the actual mounted height of a 305/55R20? Not sure what to go with: 305/55, 295/60 or 35x12.5. Have you guys noticed any negative effects going with one size or the other? Right now I have the stock 275/65s. Right now they measure 33.25" on the truck with most of the tread left. One more thing: How much "spray" is made with the more aggressive fitments in the rain? This truck is my DD, but I don't want to create a road hazard for others while driving in the rain!

I have 2011-2012 take off 20's on my '00 reg cab truck..it's 2wd, running a 275/65/20 michelin, and use a 2" spacer. Zero rubbing at all, and they fill out the wheel well nicely..gained about 2 1/2" of height by mounting them up though lol. Rear fenderwell measures 41 1/2" high.

Question..has anybody used spacers, and experienced steering shake?? I've had my tires rotated and balanced, and they're good..but I get a wicked shake with any steering input...hands of the wheel and they are fine. Help!! This is driving me ape sht!

I had 8x6.5 to 8x170mm 2" spacer adapters on my 97 to put the factory wheels off my 08 on it and I had a little shake it was because the studs on the spacers weren't perfectly spaced apart it was good enough to get the wheels on but not perfectly balanced.. Guess that's what we get for having everything manufactured over seas..

Lol, I'm running the same setup, rubs the liner pretty badly on the dr. side. I need to center my axle though.
