275/55/20s installed

[Stranger_ranger]

Got my new tires and wheels installed today. Running 276/55/20 open range ATs and 20” xd spy II wheels with 18mm offset. Did a 2.5” level along with it but do have some minor rubbing when in reverse at full lock.
Really happy with the look and overall setup. A little iffy about the rubbing though.

@Stranger_ranger Did you replace the "crash bars"?? I run the same setup, only with 20mm offset, though not lifted... stock height in front... and till I installed the offset crash bars (a PIA), it rubbed on near full lock.... fine afterwards.

No, nothing to the crash bars (yet). Where can I find that?

Those wheels are so dressed up that I would have been hesitant to go with them. But, they look great! The offset is just right and I like that the tires aren't overly aggressive.
I will soon be installing 20" F150 takeoff wheels on my lowered truck so I am interested in your setup with offset. In my opinion, not enough people are putting 20" wheels on these trucks.

Did you do them yourself or did you find somewhere to take care of it for you?

Yes, I did them myself... a real PIA! There are likely a few YouTube videos on doing it...

Yeah seems super tedious. Did you cut the factory one or go the route of removing the bumper?

Cut... but if I had to do it again, I think removing the bumper, net, net might be easier if not slower.

Renee,

Those tires and wheels looks great and it’s too bad about the rub - sounds like it’s the rear crash bar? I was super close to rubbing on the rear but installed the ReadyLIFT beams. All is great now and the replacement beams are super beefy. Do yourself a favour and take the time to remove the factory beams - sure, it’s a bit of work but so is lying on your back under your truck while you switch between a sawzall and angle grinder and blow through four metal saw blades - when I read about so many guys struggling under their rigs, I said “no” to that. There are good instructions from ReadyLIFT and lots of info on the forum.

Good Luck!

Thanks!! I love the look and stance, which is why I don’t want to change up what I’ve got.
I’ve pretty much decided that I’m going to go the tedious route of removing the factory and installing the low profile. I think I’m going to save some $$ and do it myself rather than pay the specialty service prices that a lot of the places around here want to charge. Not saying their time isn’t worth money, but if I can do it myself and save I might as well.
