I had a good week to test them on the highway also. I did a 200 mile round trip on Tuesday with the stock set up and again on the same 200 mile round trip on Thursday with the Raptor wheels and Nitto's. I only lost 1 mpg on the switch which I thought wasn't bad since I added 1" of height, 3/4" width, and approximately 25 lbs. per corner.

That's the same loss I took when I swapped over. I can live with that !

Looking good! Where does your tire sit from the fender flare?

No interference whatsoever. I’ll post up some additional pics that will show the offset, which is minimal. I prefer the wheels and tires to be fully inside the wheel wells. The size is 20"x9" with a +25mm offset (OEM is 20"x8.5" +44mm), for an approximate net 1.1" outward offset.

@Driver8 , do you have a link for those replicas? How do they compare in finish to OEM Raptor's? Use stock lugnuts? Any qualms about running them year round upnorth? They look great on your truck!!

They look like OEM wheels in quality and build. I’ve run replica wheels on various cars and trucks for the last 25 years and have never once had an issue. I had some clear coat peeling on the last set I bought but they were warranted for the first year.
I bought lug nuts when I bought the wheels primarily because the OEM Ford hybrid (two-piece) lugnuts swell. The lugnuts I bought are first class one piece chrome plated. They look great. Hope this helps!

It makes me happy seeing all of you guys killin it with these raptor wheels. These trucks look great with them. I’ve about worn out my KO2s and now I’m trying to figure out what I want to go back with. 285/70s looked kind of small, may go back with 295s.

Here is a link to the wheel retailer where I bought the wheels: https://www.performanceplustire.com/...yABEgIo0_D_BwE
