After doing some research and plenty of help from this forum i finally have a set of wheels/tires on the way. Went with the 33x12.5x20 mud grapplers and 20x9.5 xd monsters with a +18 offset. My question is with the offset i chose will i have any rubbing on the control arm because i still am a little worried about it, the plastic on the inner fender not so much bc i'll just take a saw to it. If anyone could give me some input it would make me feel better before i make my way into the shop when those tires get here hopefully on tuesday.

Truck is a 2wd 08 f150 screw with a 2.5 hbs leveling kit.

thanks ahead of time and i'll post pics whenever i get it done.

 

So, you bought 9.5" wheels with 5.5" of backspacing. The stock F150 rims are 8.0" wide with 5.5" of backspacing. If I am correct, those wheels have the same backspacing, so you should be fine.

 

You shouldn't have any rubbing on the control arms. You may have a little on the plastic valence. But if you're willing to trim it's no big deal.

 

I agree. Also, the OEM 17 and 18 inch wheels are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing.

 

I just used this calculator here http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp and this says that wheel has 6" of backspacing.

I know you have a NBS truck and I'm not that familiar with popular fitments on that truck, but on paper this wheel looks like it's really going to sit inboard. So now it comes down to what type of look you like. I personally would not be digging a wheel sitting that far inboard as I like more offset, but that's just me. It should still sit outboard about 1" from stock, but not much more than that. Just depends on if that's enough for you or not.

I'm shopping for 20x10's for my truck right now and I'm worried if I'll be happy or not with -24 offset on the wheel I picked out!!!

 

A 9.5 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of BS is gonna stick out 2 inches farther than the OEM wheels on a 04-11 F-150. If it is 6 inches of BS, it will stick out 1.5 inches farther than the stock wheels.

 

Thanks a lot guys, everything should be here wed and then i'll have to figure this whole posting pictures onto a forum thing.

 

Just got everything put on, and thanks to everyone that helped me out i officially have no rubbing at full lock. Heres some pics.

 

Naaa...that fits pretty darn good! And that's a 9.5" wheel?? That's a pretty wide 12.50 then.

 

damn those are some meaty tires. Looks great.

 

Great looking truck! Congrats

 

Very sharp. Did you consider XD Spy's? I think the black & chrome would have popped. I'm looking @ them for my blue FX4 screw...

 

truck looks good!

I presume you live in Fresno....by the bars on the windows

 

Looks incredible! Do your tires sound like an airplane is chasing you down the highway? Glad to hear you have no rubbing too!

 

Galaxy, it's actually a 9 inch wide wheel. And the bars on the windows is because I'm in sd a bit too close to Mexico, haha. The sound is great, actually feels like I'm driving a truck now. Next up black bumpers and some dual side exhaust
