its a simulated bead lock... just FYI. Although that particular one is fairly "bro-ish"

I've been having a hard time finding any aftermarket wheels for the F150 that aren't bro-ish to me.

haha. People seem to like methods for a classic offroad style wheel. SOTA is nice but pricey for a larger diameter black wheel. Depends on your style.

I spoke with Weld... they are allegedly putting out some thinner sized wheels next year, which could be legit. But again, pricey.

I think i am ready to take the plunge and buy aftermarket wheels but i am not sure how to get the same appearance i have now.

Any suggestions on what dimensions i should be looking for in a wheel. I am thinking 20x9 or 10 but the back spacing and offset confuse me

What back spacing/ offset get me flush with the oem flares for both a 9 inch wheel and a 10 inch wheel.

I have attached a pic of my current stance.

If you want to keep it flush with the OEM flare, you're definitely going to want to stick to a 9" wide wheel. I talked to the guy at the shop where I had mine installed extensively, and that was the gist of it. I went with 10" wide wheels (-12 offset) with 305/55R20 R/Ts and, as you can see, they stick out a good 1-1 1/2". I plan to add Raptor flares to help rein it in a bit. I'd suggest sticking to no more than a 295 tire if you're set on keeping it inside the oem flares.

Check out the Fuel ‘Beast’ wheels. Don’t have them, yet, but I don’t think they are too ‘Broish’ and should clean easily.

Here is a Black Rhino Thrust in 20x9.5 with +6 offset and 275/55/20 Michelins. Easy to clean and sit perfectly flush with the factory flare.

The tire you run will have a dramatic effect on the final appearance here, especially being so close to the fender line. On -12 wheel, you are already outside the fender ~0.5" so less dramatic, but on these 0/+1 wheels, a toyo m/t for example has a super aggressive sidewall thats going to make the tire visually appear to be further outside the fender than say a standard all terrain that has a classic flat sidewall. Although this is a minimal measurement, it can effect the look. Usually a less aggressive tire (A/T) looks better when in line with the fender (positive offset), aggressive tires (M/T) tend to look best once outside the fender (negative offset).

Thank you for the explanation!

What wheel did you end up with?

I put beasts on mine and I think they are the perfect truck wheel. Simple and clean, but still rugged and suited for a truck! Love them!

I chose Beasts as well. In low light they almost look black but put some light on them and the dark bronze looks awesome.

I went with Fuel Vapors to try and get away from the “broish” look. Wasn’t a fan of the milled “bead locks” on the Fuel Lethals I had previously. In addition, I didn’t want the tires hanging out beyond the OEM flare (my Lethals had -12 offset). Went with 20x9 +20 wheels with 305/55s. Came out perfect.

Here’s a before shot with the Lethals:
