bisonium... great minds think alike! Yup, its an option with the max tow package on the FX4. Check it out on the build and price requires max tow package. So bisonium, how peppy does that thing feel with the 4.10's on it with the stock tires?! LOL Should be just right when you get the tire diameter changed. Let me know your thoughts on it when you swap tire diameter. By my calculations should be just right.

Ha! Great minds and fishermen! So far the truck feels fast as hell. Can't wait to get the new suspension, wheels and tires!

Offset isn't the main factor, it's the backspace. You need a MAXIMUM of 4.75" of backspace to clear the arms.

Hmmm. Do you have a lift or any other mod? I wonder if that 4.75" requirement is for bone stock setups? That requirement was a serious
Ain in my *** man, wish Camburg would make the requirements a little clearer...

No lift kit, just the Camburg a-arms and fox shox. I had the same concerns as you about backspace, because of the website. I ordered all of my stuff through Camburg, including my method wheels. I asked for -12 o/s, however I received +18 o/s! I called jeff (the Camburg salesman) and had him measure the clearance on a 2011 f150 w/a-arms that was at the shop. He assured me the wheels would fit and there was plenty of clearance. Camburg was right and everything fit great on my truck, plus the wheels stick out less then the -12 o/s would have... Made for less trimming w/ 35s... Hope this helps

Well poop on a stick. Wish I would have known that. I ordered the Fuel Offroad Octanes in black with a 4.5" backspace and -.12 offset. It was the only 18" wheel they made that would work with the Camburg specs. Problem is that MHT didn't have the wheels and had to make them! Don't understand why they have something in their catalog that they don't stock. In any case, it caused a delay in delivery, but right now the bigger delay has been the Fox Shox. Been waiting on those for ever. <sigh>. I've also got Bushwacker 1.5" pocket flares going on the truck which should look great with this setup...
