Tire & Wheel combo?
I have a 07 fx4 f150 with a 2.5 as lift. I am currently looking to get the moto metal 957 18X9 with 33x1250X18 tire. I heard that these will rub badly due to the -12mm offset. Is this true?

With a 33" tire I don't think they will rub too bad. Probably close to 5 1/2 inches of backspacing would be better. Check with Wandell.

I agree. Not sure what bs that -12mm works out to be, but 5 to 6 inches of bs works great. If it's less than that you may have to trim some plastic.

If they offer that rim in a +12 offset get that one. I got it on my 20x9's and still had to do some trimming, but nothing major
