would these tires clear?? anyone??

could i clear this wheel and tire setup. iam going to be putting on 20x10 wheels w/ 4.5"s of backspcing with 37.13.50 tires.

i got a 05 f150 2wd. lifted with a 6" pro comp stage 1 lift w/ a 1.5" daystar coil spring spacer installed, giving me roughly 7.5"s in suspension. the rear is leveled with the front. I also have a 3" body lift installed. Is this enough?

Tires should fit, but you may have some rubbing issues. I'm sure Wendel will check in a give you a more definite answer.

The body lift will get you clear of contact, I'm pretty sure. I'm running 37x13.5s on 9" wheels with only a 6". Had to do minor cutting to avoid contact.

You will probably have some minor rubbing because of the wheel, but I think it will work.

It will work, I have no idea why everyone thinks you need 20"s of lift to run bigger tires.


I have 6" on a 01 2WD and ran 35's no problem. I just added some lifr to it, yesterday, now I have 9.5 front, and 7" rear, went to test fit some tires, on my new 20x10's mounted up a Nitto Terra Grappler 37x14.5, fits great no rubbing anywhere.


I am adding a 3" body, and will be running 38's easier than the 37's fit yesterday.

yea you are right. I ran 35s on 17x9 wheels with 4.5" of backspacing with no rubbing whatsoever. now i dont see why i couldnt run a wheel with the same backspacing just a inch wider, 2 inch taller tire and a inch wider, now that iam roughly 4 1/2"s taller with my 3" body and 1.5 spacer. thats gotta be plenty of lift. check out this truck, its running just a 6" lift with spacer and he is a 2wd with 20's and 37's. zero rubbing.
