Question Fitment Questions

Hey guys, so I'm looking to purchase wheels for my 2021 Ford F150 XLT and have multiple questions regarding fitment and suspension, feel free to share personal experiences or any do's and don'ts when it comes to fitment.

So currently I'm looking to run an aggressive fitment (tires extend 1" from Fender), however, I'm not looking to trim any plastic or metal. I'm also debating on levelling the truck or leaving it on a stock suspension (OEM) and just running the wheels. I've heard that for the most part levelling the truck isn't bad but it causes wear on your suspension components faster over a longer period and I'm also worried it will affect the ride quality. I'm new to this and just recently switched over from a car to a truck and I'm attempting to customize it without losing the ride quality, removing or trimming plastic or metal pieces and no scrubbing or rubbing. I want the deep dish look of the wheels but I don't exactly know what offset range I should go with to stay in the no rub no trimming zone. A 20x10 -18 offset on 32.3"x11.2" (285/55/20) is a fitment I saw online which I like (https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wh...d-leveling-kit).

Overall, What fitment do you guys recommend I should run, without losing the ride quality, removing or trimming plastic or metal pieces, no scrubbing or rubbing, and that deep dish wheel with an aggressive 1" look? Also let me know about your thoughts on the suspension, if the level won't affect or if staying OEM will be my best bet.

Please let me know, thanks.

Moving your wheel out to -18 from the OEM +44 is gonna need some help, especially with wider and taller tires.
