There is some truth to this. However, I went with the VenomRex(Vorsteiner) 601's in 20" and ET 12 (only 28.6 lbs) with a 35x12.5 and 2.5" of lift in the front and there has been absolutely no rub at all. I run the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and in 35x12.5R20 they are F-rated and 73.47 lbs each, which puts you around 103 lbs per corner. On the highway, I get around 17-18 mpg on the Hwy. About 15.5-15.8 mpg Combined.

However, if you go with the 295/65R20, it is an E-rated tire and gets you down to 69.41 lbs, and 98 lbs per corner, which may help a smidge.....

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but I have a 2019 SCREW Magnetic that is supposed to be delivered Approx june 12. (Its finally in Manufacturing, but will take forever to get to Hawaii Im guessing) I want those same wheels the venomrex 801's, but only have a total of 2 inches to spare for garage clearance from stock height. Is there a way to make these wheels work? Sorry if it sounds retarded but my first Raptor, and really first true off road vehicle. Thanks in advance!

If that question was asked on the gen1 forum the wolves would have attacked. Seem to be a different crowd

Poidog,
Welcome to the club! First question, what is the clear height of your garage door opening at the jamb/head trim?
My garage is 7'-0" clear, and I have plenty of room with 2 1/2" of lift in front and 1" of lift in rear riding on those tires.
and I would say the top of my truck sits around 6'-4" to 6'-5" high.

Get the 601's with 35" tires and should be nearly the same height as stock.

Thanks guys! My garage has a 6'9" clearance. I thought the stock truck height was just under 6'6" according to Ford?

Get ‘em and you won’t regret it, unless you drive through areas with lots of rocks. We’ve got a bunch of mud down here around Houston.

Cab height on Ford spec page is 6' 6 1/2. I'm wondering if that includes the shark fin antenna?

I just pulled a set of 20" Black Rhino Razorbacks off mine that came with it when I bought it. They are a +12mm offset. They have 35x12.5x20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on them. No problems with fit. It has Icon collars to leveling, but at the lower setting.

I put 17" Black Rhino Armory's on it instead with the stock tire size.
