New to the site. Looks like the place to be if you're a Ford guy! Anyway, I was wondering if someone can give me some advice.

I just purchased my 2015 F-150 FX4 crewcab 4X4. I added a 2" level kit on the front end and was wanting to add a 2-3" block kit on the back. So far they're not available in Canada. I'd like the back end to be slightly higher than the front end of the truck. I would like to put Toyo Open Country Extremes on the truck, size LT-295-55-R20 and I like the TIS 534B wheels, but I don't know what size and offset to order (suggested size is 20 X 9 X 18 offset) but not sure for this size of tire. I have installed fender flares, and would like the tires to just come to the outside of the flares. I do not want to do any trimming or mods to the truck. Does anyone know for sure which wheel size I should order to make this combination work? I have tried calling around to different wheel shops in my area and on-line but so far have not found a definitive answer. No one had them up here in Canada either, I will have to order them in. Also, does anyone have the TIS wheels I'm refering too? If so, how do you like them? Pictures?

Thanks

I don't know the wheels but I think the +18 will make them just about flush with the current fenders. I believe you would have to go with more offset to bring them out to the flares, but then you will run into issues with the crash bars.

More offset and it will be more tucked in. You need less offset even negative to push the wheels out.

That's what I meant to say. The more negative you go farther the wheels will be pushed out in the more likely they are to hit the crash bars

Not sure if you and I are meaning the same although we're saying the same. He has flares so he needs negative (less) offset to bring it "flush" with the flares. Without flares then less offset would push it out further past the OEM fenders. With after market flares he'll need negative offset to make it flush with the flares.

Lol we are saying the same thing. I'm just also saying if he pushes them out that far. Like maybe a -12 then he will have issues with the crash bars.

Great we probably confused the hell out of him lol

That was a hilarious read!

Although the messages, albeit confusing, are correct. I ran a 1.5" spacer on stock 20s which put it even with the factory fender lip trim. +44 offset.

To the OP, I'm going for a similar look as you appear to be, as such, I ordered wheels with a 0 offset which should put me at just outside the stock fender about 3/4 of an inch. To compensate for the flares I'll be buying (once the wife is done being mad about the tires/wheels) I bought 325/60/18 Nittos. That should give me an extra inch on each side of the rim putting my total outside the fender at close to two inches; (perfectly suited for some Bushwacker fender flares)

Now... I have only a 2" level so I can only imagine the nightmares I'm about to endure trying to fit this. It's a foregone conclusion that, at a minimum, the front crash bars are getting removed. Hopefully that's all. Will keep you posted with the results. Should be in tomorrow.

Thanks for the replies, Guys. This help's. Keep the advice coming and picture's if you have them. I appreciate the input. Thought I'd add a a couple pic's of my rig so far. Hope this works?
