Hey guys, I need a little help with choosing some new wheels for my F150. I have a 2005 Lariat Supercrew 4x4. I have installed the Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks previously on my truck. I’ve been running BFG All-Terrains in 305/65/18 on the stock 18x7.5 wheels. It’s now time for a new set of tires and I’m thinking about buying a new set of wheels.

First off it’s very hard to find a wheel that looks good with Stone Metallic/ Pueblo Gold. I think I finally found a set that I like, though; so now I just need help figuring out the sizing and whether or not the wheels will fit my truck. I think I’ve settled on the MHT Fuel Trophy D552.

This is what I have so far:
Current Stock Wheels: 18x7.5 6x135 5.5”
Current Tire Size: 305/65/18

New Wheels that I’m Considering:
SIZE BOLT PATTERN OFFSET BSM WEIGHT
Option 1: 17x8.5 6x135 6 5” 31LBS
Option 2: 20x9 6x135 1 5” 40LBS

Questions:
1. Will either of these wheels fit my truck with at least a 33” tire?
2. How far will these wheels stick out past my fender flares, if at all?
3. Anyone care to throw out the best tire size for these size wheels, that is if they will fit?
Thanks for any help and advice you can give me!

 

An 8.5 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of BS will stick out 1.5 inches farther than your stock wheels and the 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of BS will stick out 2 inches farther than your stock wheels. Both will work/fit fine with a 33x12.50 tire.
