Does anyone think 305/55/20's will fit without a leveling kit?

I've asked this question multiple times just to be sure and everyone says a 305/55/20 is good to go with a 3/1" leveling kit and a slight trim of the skidplate.

Where did you hear that these rub?

You just said " with a 3/1" leveling kit and slight trim of the skidplate"!

calebj06 asked "if it would fit w/o a leveling kit"!

Do you see the difference?

I'm running 305/45/22 never had a problem and can still hop curbs.All stock!!!

For what it's worth. I have the stock 20's on my Limited. They have Dunlop 275/55's on them The web pages say the tire is 31.9 inches in diameter and 10.2 inches wide. I'm considering 305/55's as well. Tire rack says they are 33.2 inches in diameter and 12 inches wide. There is an arm, I believe it's called an "A" frame, part of the suspension, at he top of the tire and behind. There does not seem to be much clearance behind the tire and the arm. Wheel "offset" is the key. As I look at some of the pictures of your trucks I see after market wheels, probably allowing for bigger tires because of different than stock "offset". I put after market tires and wheels on a car a few years back and they placed a spacer between the wheel and hub. I'd wager that is the key. Now where does one get the spacer and the longer lug nuts to compensate for the spacer? That is the big question!?

Duh! Mashed a few buttons and look what I found!!

You going 35" on the 6"? Pro-comp lift?

I'll add that I don't like the look of mine at all right now, doesn't even look like a 4X4. And at my property it bottoms out where my F150 supercrew had no problems. I bottomed out one of my N-fabs today..

I took no offense to what you said at all .
I'm still trying to decide between the Fabtech performance lift , ot the Pro Comp stage 2 .

OK, no one responded to my spacer question or suggestion so I've ordered four 1 inch spacers. I think they may be a little too thick but that was the thinnest they make. I'd wager they will allow one to put on 305/55/20's on the optional 20 inch alloy wheel. The 305's are 1.8 inches wider and 1.3 inches greater in diameter than the stock 275/55's on my truck now. I'll let you all know.

I bookmarked that web page - let us know how this works out for you as I am curious.

So you are trying this with no lift at all?

[Skywagon]

Correct, no lift. I've laid on my back and studied it. Could be wrong, will let you know.

Bullseye08,
I've changed my plans a little. I'm going to put on Mickey Thompson Classic II's instead of leaving the stock alloy 20's, Off set is +13 compared to +30, I believe, for the stock wheels. I hope this moves the tire, 305/55/20, away from all the suspension sufficiently to prevent rubbing. All parts enroute. Hope to do it Friday or Monday.

I think I just found some wheels as well that are 0 offset. I have to post up some questions....
