Sorry for the numerous threads guys but I am still fighting this...


Anyone running 305/55R20 with 2" lift do they rub with aftermarket wheels? I have these on my truck now and I rub on upper and lower control arms and sway bar on stock wheels.. I am wondering if aftermarket wheels will fix this or do I just need smaller tires?

Please help!

Specs of wheels I am looking at now is:

+12 offset 20 x 9.0 6 x 135 5.47" BS

 

That wheel will stick out about 1.5 inches farther than your OEM wheels and should cure the rubbing you are having.

 

I'm running that tire size with OEM wheels on my 08 Screw and have no rubbing issues with the 2" AS kit. Mind you, I don't have a lot of room between the tire and the upper control arm especially, but no problems so far.

I'm running Nitto TG's just for the record. Seems I've seen some post where the tire brand/type caused problems due to the large lugs on the side. Just a thought. Hope you get 'er resolved.

 

No rubbing at full lock? I dont see how that possible. What size wheels you have? I am running Toyo ATs.

 

Different brand of tires are different sizes, even if they are listed as the same size. I looked at two different brands of tires that were 225/55/18 for my car and they were different widths. IIRC, the diameters were the same, but the one tire was definitely wider.

 

I'm running the stock 20" wheels that came on my Lariat. As I said, I don't have a lot of room, but I haven't rubbed yet. Just lucky I guess!

 

have mine sitting in the back of my truck waiting to go on after work. 305-55-R20 Mickey thompson ATZ on KMC Hoss 20x9 12mm offset, 4.5" backspacing. They are going to stick out a country mile though

 

Well, to update, i had quite a bit of rub with my 20x9 -12mm offset 4.5" BS with 305-55-R20 Mickey thompson ATZ's on my 09 last night. Need to put in my leveling kits first. If the i had 5 to 5.5" of BS i probably would have been fine, but with the low BS. there if to much rotational travel, especially with the narly lugs in these tires. Will have the the level and tires on by Saterday though. Might still require a little trimming though.

 

I didn't have any rubbing issues with the bilstien leveling kit and Nitto Terra Grappler A/T 325/60/18 on Helo 18x9's

 

I had 305 50R20 rubber on stock height and it didn't rub at all. I can't imagine how a 55 and a 2" lift would rub.

 

A 305/55R20 is bigger tire dude.

 

not that much of a difference though...same width just a slightly taller sidewall....2" leveling kit with 305/55 shouldnt rub

 

it might make a difference whether the truck is 4x4 or 4x2 and you guys are not being specific where the tires are rubbing onto.

in my case, 4x2 w/ oem 20s on 305/55/20 terra grapplers along w/ bilstein 5100 set to 2" does not require trimming of bumper valance (and im even running hd valance). i have roughly 1/4" of space between inner sidewall and upper control arm. the only rubbing i have is w/ the sway bar, upper control arm and lower section of body frame when i turn the steering wheel exactly past 1.5 revolution. As long as avoid having the steering wheel turned past 1.25, then i'm good to go. hope that helps
