Default 20x9 Fuel Contra's on otherwise stock 2018 Screw

Truck is 100% stock other than the wheels. Factory suspension and OEM Hankook tires. The wheels balanced perfectly and have zero wobble. Offset is a bit aggressive but I love the deep concave look they have. Also they weigh about the same as the stock 20x8.5 wheels I had so there is no additional rotational mass, maintaining the performance of the truck.

Actually looks really good. With that stance, I would consider removing the rear blocks to level it out a bit. That would drop the rear 1.25" at the wheel arches.

Thanks man, and yeah the funny thing in terms of leveling is that when I have a full tank of gas (36 gal tank) it looks almost level. When it gets near empty it has a bit too much rake for my liking, so I wasn't sure exactly what to do. Debated doing a mild front lift with some Fox 2.0's or Eibach's, but I go back and forth as I kinda want to leave things stock to avoid a harsher ride and/or potential problems down the road...

Removing the rear blocks has zero effect on the ride, and it will sit just like a 2wd does as far as rake. And you can put them back in any time.

Thanks for the tip bro, I'll definitely consider it, sounds like a good idea to get it leveled with no ill effects, I just don't know if I want to go lower in the rear...but I might just try it.

I just picked up an 18 myself. I'm also looking for wheel ideas. Your wheels look good! Oh, and nice Z btw. I miss my 08 SOM Z but I couldn't afford both. My son has a dirt bike racing addiction lol.

Thanks man. And I debated selling the Z06, only because I don't drive it much, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Every time I take it for a drive I am like no way can I sell this haha. Grew up riding dirtbikes, 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers, was obsessed...so I understand your sons addiction! Here's another pics of the Z06

Default Fuel contra

I just bought a 2018 F-150 and looking to get new tires. I'm going with Cooper Discovery stt Pros 295 55-20. Do you think they will fit all these Contra Wheels without trimming , rubbing or lifting. Discount Tire already told me I can run this size tire on the factory rims but didn't know about the fuel contra
