Spacer thickness help?
Hey guys,
I miscalculated the offsets when I bought some new rims for my 2012 f150stx and I have the 2" bushwacker fender flares on and I guess it looks allright but the wheels look pretty sucked in to me and its driving me nuts, most of the guys I see running around town with these flares on have some pretty decent offsets on their rims or must be running with spacers on to fill them out a bit.
I have attached a few photos of the truck as it sits now and was wondering what you would put on these wheels to make them look right, I do not know enough about these to know if it should be 1"-1.5" spacers and if I will have issues with running a larger tire next time around. I was going to get them from wheeladapter.com based off of your guys reputation but fred is getting pretty old over there and wasn't super helpful when it came to thickness suggestions.
I have the truck going into the body shop soon because some moron riding his buddy's bike around the block ran it into the side of my parked truck, I figured I would have them put them on while it was there.
The specs for the current rims are:
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: 25mm
Backspacing: 5.71"
Bolt Pattern: 6-135
Rec. Tire Size:275/65-18
Weight: 24.7lbs.
Current Tires:
LT295/70r18 (35" Nitto Terra A/T)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

2013 FX4 with Duratrac Tires and Leveling Kit
Hey guys! I had to share my excitement of the new tires/lift on our Ecoboost. I have been a huge fan of the Ecoboost F150's ever since I bought a brand new one back in 2011. I owned it for about 1 year until one night a horse ran out in front of me on ice covered roads and it was totaled. (my truck and the horse) I replaced it with a Dodge Cummins which I absolutely love but I have missed the F150. Not sure what it is, but every one that is on this forum must agree with me. When my wife was due for an upgrade this summer with her vehicle I convinced her to try out an F150. We have been thrilled with our FX4 in every way. Just today I had a 2" front and 3" rear Autospring Lift installed with 275/65/20 Goodyear Duratracs on the factory rims. No rubbing at all.

It's only on full lock in reverse, unfortunately I can't take the pic by myself. It's very minor and have been driving it for 2 days now parking it in my stuffy underground parking and it's barely noticeable if I don't fully crank the wheel. I'm sure the 1" quick lift would solve the rubbing or bigger. This is temporary I'm going with the 2" day star level and 305/55/20's but I'm afraid the truck won't fit in my underground parking

I'm going to do a leveling kit, and Im looking at:
-fuel mavericks 20x9 +20
-xd addicts 20x9 +18
-ballistic jesters 20x9 +12
What size tires would I need for any of those above? I have a 2011 ecoboost FX4. Thanks!
