Question What should I do next? What Rims should I get? And Additional addons?

I've only done a few things to my truck so far. However everything I've done has made me want to keep doing more and more. Almost an addiction at this point lol

My truck currently:

- Grill, Rims, and Front/Rear Bumper are Plasti Dipped Black (They were originally chrome)
- Pioneer avic-x850bt radio (Purchased the Hands Free Calling Mic, GPS Antenna, etc)
- Smoked Halo LED Projector HeadLights
- Tinted Windows

What I'm wanting to get done:

- New Rims/Tires (Thinking of getting SVT Raptor Rims with 32's or 33's. Not sure yet)
- Flow Master Exhaust (Undecided on which one exactly)
- Subs
- Possibly Leveling the truck (Not sure if I want to do this yet)
- Get the Rear view camera hookup for the Pioneer radio.

My next purchase is rims/tires especially with Fall/Winter coming up.
I've really liked the way the SVT Raptor Rims look on the F150's however
I'm trying to keep an open mind and making sure I explore my options before pulling the trigger on purchasing them.
Which is why I'm wondering if anyone knows of some nice Black rims to go with my truck. Just looking for some suggestions.

It already looks leveled to me. Just get some nice 33 AT's to fill the wheel wells more. Truck looks good.

Yeah I was thinking 32's or 33's as well. However I can't decide on which rims I want. I may just get the SVT Raptor rims and be done with it however I've seen a few trucks on here with some awesome wheels.

Btw what are 33 AT's? I'm new to the forum so I'm not really sure what that abbreviation is referring to.

truck looks good already... what size wheels are you wanting to go with? stick with 18's or bump up to 20's??

also, since you are going with the black out look, i would really paint your running boards black!!

also AT stands for All terrain. as in an All Terrain Tire.

I agree you need some bigger tires but unless you want to go with a 35 I wouldn't level it yet.

My only suggestion would be to continue the black out theme Ont the badges, mirror reflectors, and taillights. Otherwise it's a sharp looking truck already.

Here are some wheel and tire configurations for leveled F-150's. You can scroll through and see what you like. The -offsets make the tires stick out while the +offsets bring the tires in more. Usually the - offsets require more trimming with wide tires. Each customer gives what modifications he had to do for his set up.https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wh...ing+Kit&page=1 I would not recommend an MT tire. They ride rougher and are noisier. To me an AT looks aggressive and still rides smooth and relatively quiet.

Yes, I think black running boards (if any) and black tow hooks would look good on your tuck.

I had a lot of suggestions with making the running boards black.. I went ahead and did it.. I actually am very happy I did it.. I'm surprised how much different it made the truck look! (I just used plasti dip just incase I wanted to remove it later on).. I will definitely do the Tow hooks later on! I haven't really thought of doing them but I'm sure that would look good as well.

My Truck with black running boards:





I've also gone ahead and made a decision on rims. I purchased 2014 Raptor SVT Rims. I plan on putting 33 All Terrain tires on them. I think that's the highest I can go without rubbing?

The rims should be here in about a week.. (There shipping from California)
