Default Question about how well these will fit

I’m wanting to get 35 x 12.5 x 18 or 20 Mud Graps. I’m considering putting on wheels that are 18x9.5 and the offset is -19 and the backspace is 4.5 inches.
I’ve posted this in the 04-08 section but just found this part of the forums so i figured it would be more helpful.

What my question is will this fit my 06 f150 Xlt 4wd scab with 2.5 inch leveling kit.

Have also considered the KMC monster wheels they are 18x9 with 35mm offset. I don’t understand offset to much

You should be fine you may have to do some cutting of the plastic but nothing major per the tire and wheel fitment guide. https://www.f150forum.com/f4/tire-wh...04-08-a-24510/

The thing that confuses me here is you're wanting 35x12.5x18 or 35x12.5x20 mud graps but you didn't list a 20" wheel.

Ya it was a quick type up. I'm pretty sure 18s are the way to go for me unless you or anyone else thinks they look better or anything like that.

I'm personally a fan of 20's but everyone likes different wheel to tire ratios. 20's cost more for rims and for tires though. Running that big and aggressive of a tire is going to be very tight though the more I think about it. Check out this site. http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp
It'll show you side by side how big the tire size you're wanting is compared to your stock size. That tire is actually 13.39" wide. It's comparable to a 335/65/R18 tire. Here's the breakdown.
->Suspension clearance: The same.
->Fenders clearance: Package 2 will stick out 59 mm (2.3'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.
->Wheelwells clearance: Will fill out the wheelwell by extra 39 mm. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider lower profiles or smaller rims.
->SPEEDOMETER: When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 65.7mph (105.8km/h): 9.5% faster.
Package 2 is the larger tire. I assumed stock tires and estimated size at 275/65/R18

Changing rim size isn't going to affect the fit. 35" is 35" regardless of wheel size. Only the offset will affect fitment. People fit 35's on just a level and stock wheels. I'm not able to help much because I don't know all the ins and outs of the tire and wheel fitment stuff. You should try posting in the tire and wheel fitment guide and see if someone more knowledgeable can help with that. I believe it'll fit with the 18's you proposed but I can't swear to it.

[MENTION=179902]Farmkid[/MENTION] You're gonna gave to trim sheet metal to make that fit. I had 35x12.50R20 Federal Couragia MTs and -12 offset 20x9 ballistic jesters ona. 2.5" AS level and I had to trim a lot to include metal. You're looking at a wheel that's a half inch wider and has a more aggressive offset with a more aggressive tire. The KMC Monsters will fit much easier.

Here's my truck when it was leveled, it was worth it in the end for me because leveled, with 35s and negative offset wheels looks killer.
