bought wheels a guy had on his raptor...are they gonna fit fit a 2" front level with just basic plastic trimming?
2013 f150 fx4
fuel d556 17x9 -12 offset. 4.5" backspace.
tires are 315/70/17 and measure to 34.6"
I have a feeling your going to have to fold the seam on the back side under the wheel well liners. Had to do it with my 35" toyo rt's and I have my icons set at 2.5 inches over stock. The front half of the well is just plastic trimming. If I had stock raptor offset wheels I might not have had to do much trimming but the methods only come in a 0 offset.

could you take some pics of the trimming you had to do? is my -12 offset better than 0 offset or worse in terms of fitting these tires

With the -12 offset you might have a little tighter squeeze on the back side than a 0 offset. I will take some pictures of what I had to do when I get home tonight.
Here are some shots of the seam I was talking about as well as some shots of how I had to trim my wheel well liners to clear. I have a feeling that offset is going to fight you for every bit of clearance you can get especially with just a 2 inch level. Give it a shot though, only 1 way to know for sure
Doesn't a -12 offset stick even further out than a 0? Also I have no idea what backspacing means....I come from the car world and that's a term we literally never use
I have a 2009 f150 xlt stock hight wits stock 18s im looking into getting gear alloy manifolds in 18x9s with offset+18 with stock 275/65r18 bfg ko2 or fuel gripper A/T or to a gear alloy 20x9s rim with offset at 0 or -25 with a bfg ko2 tire size 275/55r20 will the 20s on a stock truck or should i just stick with the 18x9s
For what it's worth. I bought 18x9 and found a few tires I preferred cannot go on anything larger that 18x8 like they 275/70/18. Also heavy rim and heavy tire will cost you 3-4 mpg
Stock was 36lbs a wheel and my set up now is more than doubled weight . More weight to turn so I learned the hard way.
