Fuel Wheel Size - Need Help.
Hey all, been searching/reading on here, google, etc and my brain hurts and I still don't have info I am looking for, can you help me out?
I have a 2014 FX4 crew cab and was thinking about putting fuel mavericks on it. I would order 20x9 wheels and would be using my 275/55 falken ATW3 tires.
What is the backspace and offset I would need to have the same positioning as the stock wheels?
I have bone stock suspension and I don't want them sticking out tearing up the paint not he side of the truck. Is there an offering that will do this?
Any opinions if these wheels would even look good on a non lifted truck versus the dark grey fx4 factory rims?

Thanks, yep, put an email into them yesterday, not sure when they will reply or what the response will be.
There is no phone number to call on their site or that I could find.

That wheel is offered in a +1, +14, or +20 offset. The +20 is going to be the closest to a factory stance. I believe the stock 20” wheel is 8.5” wide and +44 offset. By my calculations, that means the Fuel wheels would stick out roughly 1.25” more than your stockers. I think it would look great but it will be sticking out from under the fenders a little bit. Go to this site and search for your model year range of truck wearing 9” wide wheels. Doesn’t matter the diameter of you’re just looking at how far they are going to stick out. You’re going to get all kinds of offsets but browse through the ones that are +20 or very close to it and get an idea of how they would look.

here is what I have:
Fuel trophy D552 Wheels
20 x 9
Offset 20 mm
Hub 87.1 mm
PCD 6 x 135
K02 Tires: 275/60/R20 8 ply
I have some Husky no bolt mud flaps and had to trim the inside of the flap slightly for turning and no rubbing
Tires do stick outside the fenders by a little over 1" - 1 1/2"

I have been looking on and off all day. Thought I wanted Fuel Hostage until someone made comment about keeping them clean is a pita, once I looked I agreed, doesn't look like fun with bolts and cut outs and I have constant dusting from brakes due to living in Appalachia hills. The next one I liked is the Fuel Maverick 20x9" most likely a +20mm offset, gloss black finish. I think the gloss will be a little more forgiving to clean than the matte black?
I hope aftermarket looks good without a lift or level etc, I have to keep suspension stock for now, in-between jobs. Going to ask the shop if they can let me keep my stock FX4 wheels even though scratched up, I really like them. I could refinish later and use for snow tires possibly. Appreciate help and responses you all provided.
