Was thinking about doing the exact same thing. Would love to see a pic if it was possible with no rubbing.
Somebody here did put 285/65s on aftermarket wheels but they were the same as factory offset and size. He had no rubbing. I went a different route. Leveled the truck and put 305/55r20s on 20x10 -25 wheels

I just got mine back from the dealership after having wheels/tires installed. I’m running a 2019 Limited; Air Suspension; Off-Road Group/Package (adds extra 1” lift); long bed, and had Fuel Vapors (20x9 +20 offset) with Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x11.50. Zero rubbing at full lock, zero cutting. After searching this site, reviewing multiple threads, I’m confident that this is the largest tire (20”wheel) you’ll fit on a limited with air suspension. Had I not added the off-road package, they would have rubbed. Less than 1/2” clearance at full lock. 49EC9B27-6857-4E19-8A16-F5694EC8CEC2.jpeg

Hi guys just put tires on my stock limited 4x4 and they fit good but do rub a little when really turning the wheel in a lot. In off-road mode they don’t rub but just thought this could be helpful View attachment 3332 View attachment 3333 View attachment 3334 View attachment 3335 View attachment 3336 View attachment 3337 View attachment 3338
Your trucks awesome! I have 2019 rebel. Just ordered 22x9.5 20mm offset. 33x12.5x22 nitro ridge grapplers. You think they will rub? Ordered online, hope they fit.

Ok I’ve searched high and low and I think I’m ok
But want to be sure
I have 2 inch spacers on my stock 22” wheels no off road package
I was thinking about the Links to level the truck and some 35 x 12.5 R22

I’m not certain, but with the 2” spacers, I think 35-12.50 will rub with only having links.

I have 35-12.50-20’s and could not add my 2” spacers with just links. I added strut spacers, adjusted links, and had to “massage” the wheel well to clear the tires with 2” wheel spacers.

It’s fine in aero on the road, parking lots/tight turns still requires OR1 at full lock if I plan on backing up. I am taking my time with trimming, don’t wanna back my liners all to pieces.

You can do 35’s with links and no rubbing, but you’ll have to remove spacers if you don’t wanna trim.

(Disclaimer-only my personal experience, others may say different)

Thank you, it’s getting there. Still have a handful of projects on the docket.

I did the same thing and couldn’t get them to stop rubbing so I had to take them off. Wondering if you had any luck ?

I use the suspension adjustments when in parking lots to avoid rubbing, based on turning radius.

In most situations, I do not need a tight enough turning radius to run higher than Aero, but I use normal in parking lots, and OR1 in super cramped parking situations.

Again, I have the daystar spacer and adjustable links.

I did the wheel well “massage” listed in the sticky post. And I trimmed a little in front of the wheel well, but that wasn’t from necessity right now, that is to determine how much room I need to fit a 20x12, -44 or -51, with 35-12.50’s.

I have the ready lift level kit and fuel 20 inch +1 offset with 285/65/R20 Falken Wildpeaks on a 4x4 Laramie sport. There is a very tiny bit of rub when I have it cranked and I go in reverse
