Will these tires fit with leveling kit

I have a 99 F250 that I will be installing a Truxxx front end leveling kit on and need to know if the tires I want will fit. I will be getting 20" Incubus Recoil wheels and want to put 295/60/20 Nitto Grapplers on which I believe are just over 34". I have seen in many places you can fit 34s with the leveling kit but saw in one place you can fit 35s. Will that .4 of an inch make a difference between fitting and not?

I fit 285/60/16 without any lift and had plenty of clearance on my 99.

I am in the process of ordering my tires now and still not sure what to get. 305/55/20 is the right width but I wanted to go with a 34". The 295/60/20 is another i've been looking at but can I fit a 34.4/12.5 tire with just a leveling kit? Another one is a 275/65/20 which is 34xalmost 11 and that seems to narrow. Please help will a 295 60 20 fit and will it take a lot of power to move those? The only reason I looked at 275 65s is the narrow tire would go through snow good. How will those look on a 20x9 wheel

I put a 2.5' leveling kit on the front and a 2" spacer (4" but removed the 2") and put 26" rims with 35" tires on without a problem.

On my 04 I ran 315/70/r16 bfg mts with very minor rubbing on stock rims. The biggest issue I see you running into will be wheel offset. With the proper offset I don't see a tire that is 34x10-11x20 having a issue clearing the fenders. The springs will be what rubs with a similar to stock offset. If you end up with the offset like the 05+ trucks you will rub a lot more.

on my 02 i run 285/75/r16 which are 33'' tall and 11.3" wide on stock rims and no life with no rubing 295 are 11.50" wide i think so if you got the stock offset on your new rims you should be fine

Never mind - I coulda sworn 295 were smaller tires, but yep, they are 34.5. If the leveler will give you 4" in the front you are ok, otherwise you may be in for some rub if you go offroad.

Yes, the largest tires would be grapplers. I do not think I could fit 35s on but just wondering what width will fit. My rims are on backorder so I have a week or 2 to decide on tires. If the 295 grapplers will fit I want to run tha t size

A 295 60 20 is 34.4 x 12.4 or close to that

I went with the 275 65 20 goody rear duratracs. They just got here tonight and look great. I think the width will work and can't wait for my wheels to come to finish up the project
