So comparing the Level 8 Tracker to an OEM 18 FX4 wheel here is what I get:

FX4 Wheel: 18 x 7.5 w/ 44mm offset, 6.08" backspace

Level 8 Tracker: 17 x 8.5 w/ 12mm offset, ???? backspace

This means I get 19mm of additional inner clearance, but also 44 of wheel sticking out of the fender.


So comparing the Level 8 Tracker to an OEM 17 Raptor wheel here is what I get:

Raptor Wheel: 17 x 8.5 w/ 34mm offset, 6.08" backspace

Level 8 Tracker: 17 x 8.5 w/ 12mm offset, ???? backspace

This means I get 8mm of additional inner clearance, but also -4 of wheel sticking out of the fender.

Well I could not resist and finally ordered a set of wheels and tires.

I opted for the new Level 8 Tracker (17x8.5) and a set of Nitto Trail Grapplers. (285/70-17)

Should look sweet.








Just waiting on black lug nuts and some TPMS.


According to the Level 8 rep. this will be the first F-150 w/ these wheels in the USA.

Finally got the wheels and tires mounted, I'm really pleased w/ the look & the quality of the rims.

The Level 8 center cap is metal instead of plastic.





























I get just a bit of rubbing on the front inner mud flap at full lock. i will be able to remedy this by either removing the aftermarket mud flap, ******* it or installing a bracket that will pull it away from the wheel. #3 is the most likely solution.

I know this thread is ancient but I found it doing some searching for wheels. Those are the exact wheels I want on my 01 KR.
