I have a 2015 F-150 Platinum with the stock 20” wheels. I have a 2.5” level and 295/65 (basically 35’s) and everything clears with no rubbing.

I understand the factory wheels have an offset of +44 and a width of 8.5”. If I get some Fuel Assault wheels that have an offset of +20 and a width of 9”, how will that affect clearance/rubbing as well as stance?

The Fuel wheels will give you 18mm more clearance on the inside and be pushed out 30mm on the outside for a more aggressive stance, the tires will be just outside of the fender flare. The chance of rubbing on the crash bars increases with a more aggressive offset and larger tire because of the curvature of the crash bar when you turn the wheels to the lock position because the wheel is pushed farther out. This increases further with the width and diameter of the tire. Usually safe with 285 or 295 with that wheel and level with 35’s. Where you get into increased chances of rubbing with a 35 is with a 12.5” width, so some guys that run 12.5” go with a 33 or 34 tire to minimize rubbing risk until you get into a 4” or higher lift which puts that crash bar higher up so it clears aggressive wheels/tires.

Thanks guys! So it sounds like I can get them and everything will keep working as is.
