Default Correct offset for wheel/tire combo purchase

Hi All,

I did some searches but, couldn't find what I needed. I've also searched the web for help to no avail. Basically I'm looking at buying the XD818 wheel 20x9 with 275/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. My issue is trying to find the right offset so that the wheels are basically flush with the fender. The particular wheels I'm looking at I believe only come in +18MM and +30MM offset. Does anyone have this set up on a leveled 2018 F-150 Screw that could lend some pictures or help with getting the correct offset?

Any and help appreciated!

If you only have the 2 options you'll want the +18 and even with that you might need to spacer to push out a bit more depending on how flush you wanna be

i have a different brand of wheels but my 20x9 with +12 offset (Incubus Crusher) w/ 275/55/20 nitto nt420s tires stick out past the fenders on my '13. didn't really like it at first but it is growing on me.

+18 will push your tires out about an inch from stock which are +44. The closer you get to zero and beyond the further your tires will move out past the wheel wells. +18 will look aggressive with the sidewalls of your tires just beyond the fenders while keeping the tread from throwing stuff allover the side of your truck.
My Fuel Mavericks are +20 but I'm using a 3/16" spacer which gives me about a +14 total.

I like the red front hooks and ford emblem overlay. Where did you get the overlay?

The red tow hooks are just covers that I bought from the Jeep site Quadratec.com.

+30 would be your best choice for what you are looking for...

It's difficult to gauge actual stance from photos that are all taken from different angles. At +18, it will sit a tiny bit outside of the fender edge, and a +30 will sit a tiny bit inside.
My wheels are 20x9 +31 offset. If I drew a line straight down from the outside edge of the factory flares, they're probably 1/4" in from the edge.

20x9 with +20 offset & 305/55/20 BFG KO2's. Pretty happy with the amount protruding from the fender well.
