Hey guys so before I make a big mistake, I have a question. I looked at the chart about what size tires will rub and have a question. I know it's for stock wheels, but I have a +1 offset 20x9 wheel and plan on putting LT295/60r20 on. I talked to a guy on here who only had to do some minor trimming, but he's on a 2014. I have a '13 and from what I understand the front end is slightly different, correct?
I have no problem cutting plastic, but if I am going to rub on my UCA that is a no go. I will have bilstein 5100s @ 2.25" before I put the tires on.
Any help is greatly appreciated so I can go home and order my Toyos!!
Hey kbrock, you can run that without hitting your uca. There are other members on here that are running that size of tire on stock rims which are a +44 offset so you should be good and the only difference in the front is the joint on the end of the strut is different.

Awesome, thanks! I always thought the more negative the offset the higher the risk of rubbing. But if you can clear it so can I
My '13 F150 FX4 with slightly larger 33" Falken Wildpeak AT3W's 275/60 20's on factory rims. The larger profile helps fill up the wheel wells a bit better I think. No rubbing or problems. Ride quality changes slightly as this is a heavier tire than factory stock. Speedo changes by 2mph but still reads very close to GPS mph. These are also slightly noisier than before but very tolerable on asphalt... they do hum on concrete stretches of freeway. Decent grip on wet roads, no trips onto mud or snow yet.
yeah should be fine. Raptor wheels are +34 and i'm running a 315/70 without rubbing.
Are you running the stock Raptor setup on a stock height 4wd? The chart indicates I can do that on a 2013 but I just want to be sure. Any pics of your setup?

I was originally. Slight rubbing at full lock, or if you were turning into a driveway. Would be zero issues with a little trimming.
I have full fox 2.0 now, so 2" lift in front and 2" block in back.
Ok everyone I finally installed my wheels. I'm on a 2.25" bilstein 5100 leveling setup, bilsteins in the rear, Fuel Mavericks 20x9 +1 with 295/60r20 Toyo M/T. Had to trim the lower valence and did quite a bit of metal trimming on the fender but they fit OK now. Plenty of room near the UCA though

Can you take a picture where you trimmed the metal? Truck looks good with that set!

Thank you! I have to say, I regret doing it as fast as I did. I was sort of in a rush when I did the whole thing so it could have gone better. I cut the wheel well liner without thinking much, when I could have curved it down to cover the part that I did cut. Would look much better, might paint the part I cut black instead of the gray so it'll blend in more, or get a new set of wheel well liners in the future, but probably not, lol.
I just want to say I have absolutely 0 experience with this, it isn't a show truck so I wasn't too worried about the results. If I had only tapered the wheel well liner down this would have looked amazing. Keep in mind the first pic I am putting is before I was finished. I smoothed it all out and it actually came out really nice. The fender flares I put on also cover some of it.
I cut along where the body parts meet, but you can see I left the parts where they were tack welded so they wouldn't come apart.
Tough to see but that is gray primer on it so it doesn't rust, it's there until I figure out what I want to do.
Found a before pic I sent to my buddy before I did it -
