Need Help! Wheels, Tires, Leveling
So I'm new to the forum and to owning an F150. Just picked up an '04 F150 SuperCrew Lariat 4x4. It's a great truck, just in serious need of wheels and tires. I bought a set of BF Goodrich 305/65/18 and ordered a 2" leveling kit from Hellbent Steel.
So considering that setup, I'm looking at a new set of black wheels from a company called 2 Crave (NX-1). I like the look of the BMF Novakane wheels but they don't make an 18" wheel, so I'm trying to get as close to that look as possible. Anyway, the wheels are 18x9 with a +12 offset (they also make a -12 offset). I know very little about aftermarket wheels and want to know how they will fit on the truck before I drop a grand. I'm concerned about the wheels sticking out too far.
It is my understanding that the stock 18's that are on the truck are 7 1/2 wide with a +44 offset. Is it as simple as dividing the additional 1 1/2 of wheel width by 2 and adding the additional offset (44-12=32mm difference)? So that gives me 1.25" plus .75" which totals 2". So are the new wheels going to stick out 2" further than the current 18's? or am I totally out of wack with these calculations?
Also, with the 305/65/18 BFG's and the 2" leveling kit am I going to have rubbing issues?
Help me out guys! Thanks!
