Default will these rims work on my F150?

I know a guy who wants to sell these pretty cheap. I'm worried about the offset though. He says they are 18x9 135mm. I have a 2" level on my truck. Your thoughts?

Take them to local tire shop and try them on if you don't have stands or a jack at home. What is the offset? Do you mind trimming and what size tires?

the only thing the seller says is that 6 on 135mm and they are 18x9. And the sale is only for the rims (200bucks)--the seller bought the setup for the used tires and now wants to only sell the rims. I'm told they are in great shape, going to look at the rims after work today. How can I tell if they have offset and do I need offset?

Those look much larger than a 35" tire which would be the very maximum you could run on a level, I'd say no but pics can be deceiving. what size are they and what backspacing?

If you are buying tires around them, no matter what the offset, 33s will work or do you plan on running 35s?

I am only buying the rims. The seller bought the setup used just for the tires to put on his old Chevy truck. He can't use the rims since they are a Ford pattern, and is only asking a couple of hundred bucks. I figured I can't go wrong with that. I was worried about fitment. I only want to put on 33's---from what I have read on here, I would not need a gear change and they should fit without much trouble---Is that true?? I wasn't sure if they needed to be offset with only 33" tires.

You will be fine with 33's. I ran 33's on mine for a little over 70,000 miles and never had issues and that was without a level.

thanks!!! I'm excited to see/buy them. I was more worried about buying the expensive tires that would go on them and then having them rub or not fit.

That's what I was saying, if you are buying the tires separate from the rims, and will be sizing according to the rims, 33s will definitely fit. Buy them if you like the design.

Yeah I would ****** those up quick. Maybe even see if he'll go 175-150. Nice took to them though. Also make sure your lug pattern is correct. Once you buy them, run by a tire store, have them mount a 33 to the rim and mount it to see if you are going to have any rubbing issues. If it turns out that you cannot use the rims, hit me up. Im running factory on mine ( Lariat Package ) and am looking to upgrade soon. Hopefully they will work for you correctly. They look nice.
