Question -12mm wheel offset

All
I just purchased some new 18 TIS - 535MB wheels the offset is -12MM. Can anyone tell me if my wheels will stick out past my fenders. I have my truck for a while now and it is in great shape. I have a silver 2009 f-150 XLT, 4x4 , 5.4 Triton. I have been wanting to give it a tougher look and give it some character. I have been wanting to do some other things also but I am not much of a mechanic. But I sure know what I want my truck to look like. I just did the rancho leveling kit and have Bf goodrich ko2 tires that gave it a little bit of a look after putting those on. Looking to get dual exhaust next. Is it possible to due a real dual exhaust on the truck. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free let me know. Thanks to all the ford heads out there.

Yes, -12 will stick out quite far past your fenders. Need to know the width of the rims to say just how far though. Use the offset calculator on 1010tires.com, it will help. Our stock offsets are usually +44 on an 8.5" rim.

Try this https://www.customwheeloffset.com//w...heel-offset200 Kinda give you an idea. You can see other wheels on 2009-2014 F150's by clicking gallery then Ford,F150,advanced search, then your dia. etc. But don't enter the wheel model so you can view more of your size wheel.

My wheels are -12. They do stick out about 2", added some fender flares to help with crud sling.

I don't mean to hijack this thread but, Rnlcomp can you please give me specifics on your setup? I have searched the Wheel/Tire forum and never seem to get an "exact" answer. I like the look you have there and wanted to know exact size of wheel and tire and did you have to do any trimming? Also are you leveled and to what size... 2, 2 1/2, or 3"? I have an '06 Screw Lariat 4x4 that I bought brand new, 25,346 miles on it, still running original 275/65R18's and want to make it a little more mine now with a 2.5-3" level and maybe 20 or 22's. Info would be appreciated. Thanks

No trimming as the tires are the stock size for a 4wd, my truck is 2wd.
