perfect? far from it. for the money they are asking for them, they should come with sync touch, painted door handles, and get rid of that gigantic dumb sticker on both sides of the bed

The stickers are an option. And you do realize the Raptor is an off road vehicle?

Maybe you would prefer a Lariat.

Aside from cost it's perfect lol it's a VERY expensive piece yes. But show me another stock vehicle that performs as well and still looks the part?? And the stickers are BA in my opinion. Back to the original topic I don't really understand the purpose of oversized rims. The factory 17s look great. I suppose 18s could work but for what it would cost for the rims and having to buy new tires I do t see how an inch is worth it. The only way I can see 20s even looking remotely "good" is with 38s or bigger tire on them. Just my opinion though. I like rubber on my wheels

The Raptor is a purpose built truck, just like the baja truck it resembles, and I haven't noticed baja trucks on 20's or 22's, because big wheels the don't serve any purpose other than showing off. To answer the OP's question about the power of a 6.2, I've seen articles where stock Raptors, plus safety equipment, have entered into real live races and placed quite well, so it's got the power to get the job done.

FLA-SVT are you serious? An FX4 with a 6'' lift, 20's, and 44's? If you ever see a truck like that take a picture of it, I would like to see how you could fit those tires without cutting the fenders out for clearence.
