Default Trying to get an aggressive front stance

I have a leveled 2004 F150 Fx4 on some Duratracs (LT275/.70R18). Even though the tires are smaller than I wanted, I got them anyways because I got them really cheap. Since the tires sit flush with the fenders, what can i do to give the front end a more aggressive stance?

I have heard about wheel spacers but have also heard a lot of negative reviews about them. And since I am a college student a 5 thousand dollar Long travel kit is out of the question.

Aftermarket rims with a different offset? This may be just as bad as spacers though...

Get some wheels with a negative offset. That will help push them out a bit and give you a more aggressive look. No il effects from doing this unless you go crazy negative.....

You don't need a long travel kit for an aggressive stance. What do you use the truck for? If it's just for looks or light offroading, do what lakeSTL said. If you grab a 9" wide wheel and give a -12 offset you should be 1.5-2" outside of the wheel well, giving you the stance you're looking for.
