Tire/Wheel fit?

I have a 2003.0 f250 with a 3-inch leveling kit and stock in the rear. I'm looking to get to wheels and tires... The wheels I'm looking at are 20x12 with 4.5-inch back space.. What needs to be done be done to avoid ALL rubbing with 35's? Can it be done?

20x12s..... What width 35s are you planning on running? I hope you're not thinking 12.5 wide tires.....

Exactly what needs to be done I don't know. For my 38x15.5s on 20x12s I had to cut everything... And that was on an 8" lift.

I really haven't looked that deep into tires yet... I'm still in the early stages, just scoping everything out and nothing is set in stone yet... If you have recommendations I would be more than happy to hear... The only thing I'm dead set on is 20" wheels and 35" tires.. If anyone has recommendations feel free to please shoot them my way. I just don't want them to rub, minor altercations to the truck to avoid that would be okay if need be.

I doubt you will find a 20" wheel that has a 4" backspace or less to keep you from hitting the leaf springs at full lock out. Most 20" wheels fall within the 4.5 - 5.75 range so you may just have to deal with a little rubbing issue.
