Will 33's Rub

[mattlaneve32]

Hey guys,

 

I'm new at this so if this topic is already done sorry about that. I just purchased a 3" front level kit with a 2" rear lift block kit. I am interested in getting 20" xd spy wheels with Nitto Trail Grappler 305/55/20 tires. Do you think that i will be able to clear those tires without any major modifications. I dont mind cutting the plastic wheel wells.

 

I guess the wheels would have to be the 20" x 8.5" which gives me a +18 off set.

 

I currently have a 24" rim with 305/35/24 with my truck stock and have no current rub problems. they have a +20 offset.

Are you talking about the 3" Rough Country lift? Because many people have had trouble with that lift.

 

Those tires will rub on stock wheels with a 2" leveling kit. They will rub bad on +18 offset. There is one guy running 3" RC with 305/55 and -12 offset XD's. He's the only one I know of.

Thanks for the info. Im just kinda stuck now. Not sure what i should do. Its not the 3" rc lift that he has. I havnt received it yet to install it but it is just a level kit that says it raises the front up 3".

 

I def. wanted to go with the 12" wide tire since im running it now and have no problems stock. I thought i would be able to clear it because the current tire i have is 32.4 and the nitto's are 33.2. I figured since i was raising the front up it would work.

 

not sure if it makes a differance but my truck has the max trailering package with the 6.2. I dont know if that changes the stock hight or not. like i said, im new at this.

 

What is everyone running with a 20" wheel and a level kit?

You will need to cut metal to run those, and a 3" leveling kit is death for your front end.

any suggestions? personally i would like to get a wheel with either a 0 offset or a -12. If im going to do this i want to do it right and I like the look of the bigger lip. I know i have to go up to do that but i dont really have the funds to do so. The 3" level kit was cheap and not installed yet so i can always sell it.

 

What do you suggest for 20"s with a 33" wheel on my truck?

[mhenshaw]

I suggest either 275/60r20 or 305/50r20 on +18 offset with a 2.5" leveling kit max. 3" is to much and you will have horrible angles on ball joints, cv shafts and tie rods.

 

Or do a 2.5" leveling kit and a 3" body with 305/55r20.

 

Or a 5" Rough Country lift for $1000

2" level and 3" body lift should let you run the wheels and tires you want, maybe a little trimming still though.

To really run those tire properly u need 4.5"s of lift minimum and still need to be careful with the backspace
