Default 2017 f150 xl

Long time lurker, first time poster. Looking to put these wheels/tires on my F150.

Pro Comp Wheels 32 Series Bandido Flat Black 6-Lug Wheel; 17x9; -6mm Offset (15-20 F-150)
NITTO Terra Grappler G2 Tire (33" - 285/70R17)

There is a -6mm offset. Was wondering if anyone has a similar set up. Any thoughts on if there will be rubbing? Also is -6mm too much offset for not replacing control arms and other suspension components?

Current have this installed which brings up the front around 2".
2 INCH LEVELING KIT - LOADED STRUT | FORD F-150 4WD (2014-2023) from Rough Country

I realize there might be some additional wear and tear on the components but don't want anything that will make the vehicle unsafe or alter the ride quality too much. I know everything I just mentioned is relative, but curious of others thoughts.

My truck... 2" level kit, 275/65r20's on Black Rhino rims with 12mm offset. 34.1" tires, easily could have gone to 35's, especially considering none are actually 35"

a 285/70/17 is gonna be as close to 33 at 32.8” as you can get. a 285/75/17 is 33.9” but you might rub if you don’t have a level. unclear if you have one or not, but this is the leveling kit thread so maybe you do.

I’ve wondered forever why my truck has so much teke compared to others. Especially when I was told it was a 2” leveling kit.
Come to find out, it’s only a 1.5”.
Guess that explains it. I was about to lower the rear to match but I don’t mind going up another .5” in front now.
Think that and 33s will look okay? I want 35s but I drive for work too much to lose that mileage right now.

Looks good! Did you get the mirror caps painted or paint them yourself? If you bought them painted, can you share a link? Thanks!

How did you find out it was 1.5" level? The spacers are not a 1/1 ratio, so a 2" level spacer would be less than 2", likely around a 1.5" measured spacer. 33's should look good, what wheels?
