Wheels & Rims

Ok my eyes are getting blured with rims and wheels.

I would like to get a new wheel package for my new f150 screw. I am putting on the 2 1/2 leveling kit, and I want the Terra Grapplers approx 33x12.50 18's or 20's undecided. The problem I am having is finding rims that will fit the recommended rim size that nitto recommends. 9.0 wide. Discount tire has mostly 8.5 wides. Yes they will probably work, but will the tire rub, is the backspacing sufficient??

I like the wider rim because of how it fills out the tire, so I think the 10" rim is better looking (in my opinion) Does anybody have any recommendations for 18x10 or 20x10 rims that are under $250/ea? I like machined look, or polished look, Not a big fan on the Shinney Chrome.

Any help would be appreciated.

All of the 10 inch wheels I've seen for the new F-150 stick way outside the wheelwells. I'd go with a narrower wheel.

So do you think the 8.5 rim will work fine??? I kind of like the wheel to run the edge of rhe wheel well, maybe just a small peek over.

Nitto Recommends at least a 9" rim 9.5" prefered.
Can't hardly find any 18x9 or 20x9 that are reasonable in price..

Nice vehicles by the way.
My wife drives a Expedition also.. We love both of our Trucks.

Thanks

Look at the Eagle Alloys. There website is www.americaneaglewheel.com. They make a couple of different 18x9 inch wheels for your truck. I think they are one of the better wheel values.

I picked mine up at sportztrailers on ebay. I called them direct and ordered them though. Not a bad price for wheel and tire combo. $1360.00 for chrome 17x9 Procomps and 33x12.50 Procomps, mounted, balanced and shipped.
