Will this fit?

I have a 2WD 08 F150 reg cab. Will this setup work without rubbing or trimming? I have 2” lowering shackles in back but the front is stock. The wheel is a Ballistic Wizard in Chrome.

Wheel:
Size: 20 x 9
Bolt Circle: 6x135
Offset: +00
Back space: 5.00”

Tire:
305/50/20 Falken Ziex

Yes, I think they will fit fine. However, I think that combo may look a little odd. You have lowered your truck and chosen a street tire. However the wheel you have chosen has an aggressive, off road style offset. They will stick out 2 inches farther than your OEM wheels. Now if you combined that wheel with a 305/55-20 (33x12.50) all terrian tire and lifted the front 2.5 inches, that would look great. For a street truck look, I'd try to fine a 9 inch wide wheel with 6 or 6.5 inches of backspacing.

I see your point and that is a lot of wheel/tire protruding from the truck. What if I got it with say a positive offset? I found them in what appears to be a positive 13 offset. I am trying to clarify that. I really like that wheel but I don’t think I want to go with an off-road tire due to cost and gas mileage. If that schanges in the future, atleast I will have a wheel that would go well with AT tires as well.

Street tires are much less expensive and I really don’t go off-road right now. They have it in black too and I am partial to the black but everyone says it will make it look like a Nascar so I chose chrome which I also like a lot.

That wheel is actually gonna stick out even farther. It will stick out 2.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels. You may have to do some trimming with a 305/50-20 (32x12.50) tire and a leveling kit.
