Response from chat with American Trucks:
Thats what Ready Lift recommends, I think Ill do that too. Now...on to Wheel Shopping...lolResponse from chat with American Trucks:
HI Ali, will 285/65R20 fit on 20X9+20 wheels on 2021 F150 Platinum without rubbing?

Let me take a look for you. One moment please.

That tire size will fit the wheel. As for clearance with a 2" lift, the largest tire size we recommend is 33's.
Sooo, I'm going with the 285/60R20's
It appears 285/65R20's will work with stock wheels that have +44 offset without a lift and on a 4x2.
I went ahead and ordered the Fuel Rebel 6 wheels (anthracite and black) 20x9 +20offset, BFG KO2’s 295 60 20, and the Ready Lift 2”. Hoping it works and looks good. When I first saw my truck, it def sits low to the ground so I hope this helps. I haven’t taken delivery yet. My current truck is a 2018 with a 3” lift, and that is perfect IMHO.
Post picks and review of wheel and tire setup when completed
Will do, hopefully it is this week, if not it won’t be for another week because I’m going out of town. The dealer has got a few things to work on the truck that I noticed while it was sitting at the lot, plus if the aftermarket things that he’s installing for me. Always sucks when I get so close but not quite ready. I ordered mine in July so I think I’m definitely in the club of longest waiting. Now it’s finally here and I’ve actually seen it I can’t wait, but I want it right. I will point out on the tires, my guy at discount tire told me that each brand can still be a different size and that the tire comparisons online just get a rough idea. So another words one size tire does not fit for every brand. I find that interesting.
If you look up the specific size and brand tire on discount and check out the specs, it’ll give you the precise diameter. For example, 285/65 R20 KO2s are close to 34.5” and Nitto RGs are 34.8”. I’m planning on going 275/65 R20 RGs which are 34.1”. Trying to save on weight and maintain as much of the powerboost MPGs.
I do think the RG's look a bit better (at least in pictures) but if your goal is to save weight the Terra Grappler G2 in 275/65R20 are 47.40 # (in non-LT) where as the the RG's in 275/65R20 are 60.85 # (LT) - I think 13 #'s per tire can make a significant difference in acceleration and MPG
Good looking out. It’s tough because I love the RG look over the terras. I wonder if the stated MPG was run with LT tires...I do tow so I’ll accept some added weight for more capability.
I do assume the LT provides some sort of benefit in certain scenarios beyond good looking - that said the Terra G2 non-LT is rated at 2756# (how much can one load per tire with the F150?)
Check out this thread. That was my question also. And a guy with a Platty is running that setup with zero issues/rubbing.
I believe he is running the stock wheels. The wheels I plan on putting on are 20X9 +20 so not sure the 285/65R20's will work.
