....Level Kit...Anyone think these will fit/look good??

I have an '02 F150 KingRanch with a 2-3" level kit. I want buy some wheels that are 20x10s with a -21mm offset. Gonna run some 305/55/20 dura tracs on them.

You think I'll have any issues with rubbing and will this stick out too far or look just right??? ....leaning towards an aggressive look. Thanks much.

Im sure they will look good, Im not sure how far they will stick out, but some of the others on here could prob tell you more on that. I think they are going to need to know the backspacing though. Here are some pictures of my F150 with 305/55/20 and 20x9s with a -12mm offset and 4.5 backspacing. This might give you an ideal how they will look..
They do rub on my 04 F150 and took some trimming, but I think on a 02 they prob won't rub, if they do it it might be a little bit on the lower valance.

Your setup looks good.

The guys I'm buying them from don't sell the wheels I want so I think they're trying to convince me to do a 4in" lift from them and then put my wheels on. I don't want to do a 4in. lift. I'm more than happy with how my truck looks now. Just want different wheels and want to run some 305/55/20 dura tracs.

Hmmm....this is a hard one because If I buy the wheels and and they don't fit I'm screwed. I want them to stick out a little bit but not a lot. Obviously a lot will look stupid. What to do...what to do...

Anyone else try running a 20x10 wheel with a -21mm offset w/ a 305/55/20 tire on a truck like min?

Thanks for the post Harper 184...that helps.

Thanks, I kinda ran into the same problem with my wheels and tires...I bought my tires from 4wheelparts and i bought my wheels from a local shop. 4wheelparts did not carry the rims I wanted.
I would guess that your tires will prob stick out about an 1" or a 1 1/2" at the most?...hopefully someone can help you a little more with that.

Haha, that's exactly my situation. They don't have the wheels.

The guy's all..."just lift your truck more" ... I was like...no. haha.

Yea, we'll see. I may just end up going with some XD series wheels 20x9s.

Is your 02 King Ranch a 4x4 or 4x2? If its a 4x4, you can fit a 305/55-20 (33x12.50) using a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing. If you want to see how far they stick out, I have pics in my gallary. My wheels are 16x10's with 4.5 inches of bs.

Yes, it's a 4WD. The wheels I want are 20x10 with a -21 offset and 4.626 BSM. Please give me a confident answer that they'll fit!

Oh man, you don't know (or maybe you do) how much time I've spent looking for wheels that fit our 5x135 bolt pattern. I've had one too many dissapointing phone calls. The last wheel on my list is a 20x10 so I'm hoping it will fit.

My leveling kit is keyed all the way up. What do you think?

the tires arent the problem. i am sure they will fit.

the rims are the question thats needed to answer. the 4.626 back spacing helps alot. you technically need 4.5 backspacing to fit such tires that will not be a problem. if you wanted 35's there will be a fitment issue, but 33's will be fine.

your fitting tires and rims with correct sizes and nothing will rub if your worried. good luck with them. wandell is right. they stick out 1 1/2 inches.

to sooth your worries, they rims will fit with tires as long as its leveled.

You guys just made my weekend

Looks like I'll probably go with the 20x10 wheels and 305/55/20 DuraTracs. Thank you for your advice. I'll post pics of whatever setup I end up with. Should be in the next week or two.

Thanks again.

That combo will fit. You will just have to trim some plastic off the front bumper's lower valance. Also, just a word of advise since you have the aftermarket torsion bar keys, I'd back off the preload. Those things allow you to put way too much prload on your torsion bars. Just crank them up enough to level your truck. Your front end will last longer and your ride will be better.

NEW PICS POSTED in my album.

Ended up going with some 20x9s that I got special ordered for my impossible to find 5x135 bolt pattern. Has been quite a long and frustrating process but I'm really happy with out this turned out.

The 305/55/20 Dura Tracs seem much bigger than other tires in the same size. I was pretty surprised and worried for a second They fit just fine though. Had to trim about an inch off the front bumper on each side. Surprisingly the Dura Tracs are not any louder than my BFG ATs.
