Will They Rub

jimdman · Mar 26, 2014

Will 20x12 XD wheels with a -44 offset 4.75 backspacing on a 35x12.5 tire rub on a 2003 f250 with a 3" lift?

So I have a guy selling 20x12 XD wheels for $500 and a guy selling Federal MT 35x12.5x20 for $800 with only 700 miles on them.

Would these fit and are they a good deal. Any real towing experience with Federals?

Thanks

Decent deal, it will likely rub but with minor trimming it'll work

I do a decent amount of towing. Should that be a problem?

My 33s rubbed a little. If you don't mind cutting on the fenders you should be fine.

I'm running a 33x12.50 on my outlaw with 20x12 on stock suspension and with minor trimming they clear fine. It won't be a problem with your lift. I ran that identical setup on a 6" lift and no trimming and had gobs of room.

When you mean cutting on the fenders you mean just the plastic correct?

I'll take some pics and post them in the morning.

They would rub on the very bottom edge of the fender where the plastic liner connects. That was with a pro comp 2 inch shackle lift. I threw an add a leaf in the spring pack and it would barely clear.
