Default Anyone Running Big Negative Offset Wheels??

So my 2014 FX4 has a 6.5" lift, and I'm currently running 20x10 wheels with a -19 offset, and 35x12.50x20 tires.
I've been waiting for new wheels to come in for about 5 months- backorder. I ordered 22x12 wheels with a -44 offset, and 35x12.50x22 tires.
I'm wondering if anyone is running a similar setup??
A buddy of mine says there's no way they'll fit without rubbing the fenders, because of the big negative offset! So I'm seeking other people who can contest to this...
I talked with a guy a couple months ago who said he's running the same exact size and offset wheels and tires, and has the same amount of lift, and he said he has no issues! In fact, he was running 325/50/22's which are wider than 35x12.5's. But he's deleted his Fbook and I can't get ahold of him to double check.

Who's running big negative offsets with 6"-6.5" lifts??? I wanna know wheel and tire sizes, offsets, and whether you're rubbing.

Thanks!!

I got a -25 on my 20x10 and have a slight rub at full lock on the fender flare and front bumper when I hit a bump or have any body roll from going to fast. I don't see how a 12 wide would fit without some trimming, or getting a new front bumper, even at 6.5" of lift.

how much lift do you have? Mines already trimmed some and clears my 20x10 with zero issues
Nevermind I see now

Im running this offset with a 6" rough country lift and you do rub at full turn and when you compress your front doing offroad activities

Have you trimmed anything?
My truck is already trimmed..
How bad does it rub? BAD? Like does it feel like it's about to rip your bumper off? Or it's just a slight rub..?

Interesting, cause he went from a level, to a lift, then more lift and all the way up to 24" American Forces with a -44mm offset.


Edit:
And here's his build thread. Well documented. Great truck:

I looked into doing 12 wides with 35x12.50s and a 6" lift and the general concensus seemed to be that it's going to need a whole lot of clearancing done. I decided I'm going to stick with 11 wide 0 offset.

I'm seeing some of both

Check out all the f150s on 6.5" lifts in our gallery! Each page will have all the trimming, rubbing, wheel, tire, and suspension information. https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wh...+6.5%22&page=1
