Default 305/55R20 tires on American Racing Rims with a +20 offset fit

I have a set of American Racing Ribelle Rims that I want to put 305/55R20 Falken Rocky Mountain tires on and was wondering if they will rub. The wheels have a +20 offset.

Any recommendations

I think you would need at least a 1/4 inch spacer. I have a set of 18 x 9 Back Space = 5.79 Offset = 20 Dale Jr. Ribelle wheels with 285/65/18's (32.6x11.2) falken rocky mountains and I had about an 1/8 of clearance between the sidewall and the upper control arm I used a 1/4 spacer just for peace of mind on the sidewall. Yours would be pretty much the same 20 x 9 +20 but wider tires 305/55/20 (33.2x12) The upper control arm will be about an inch above the top of the rim on 20's That might give you a little more room to work with, having the sidewall "bulge" up a little more, hmmm... better bet on at least a 1/4 spacer or go with a narrower tire. Look at my sig pic I have the wheels on it.

Has anyone used the 20x9 5-5.5 Dick Cepek DC-2 Black Wheel. I am curious how well they hold up. I really like the black with machined face. They have a 4.5 inch back space and a -12 offset. I was thinking about going with the Falken Mountain tires 275/60R20. Will the wheels stick out passed the fenders? I have fender flares and would like the wheels flush with the flares or stick out a little.

Nice set up gr8rows!!!!
