Default Rim Dilemma!! Order wheels now I don't know about it!!

Long story short

Running 305/55/20

Ordered new wheels KMC Heist 20x9 with +30 offset. Now that I've looked at other rims with similar offset im not so sure about how its going to look.....

Now this is the picture on the site (PIC 1) and I ordered because I like the concaved look. The problem is now that I googled it trying to find it on some vehicles, I come up with (PIC 2) as well. And I am thinking that is how the +30 offset is going to come (PIC 2) and not the ones I want (PIC 1)


PIC 1



PIC 2






I even went as far as drawing the rim out on cardboard to see what kind of concave its going to have...as far as I can tell it should still be concaved but the ones I see on other peoples trucks (not same wheels) say differently!!






I might call and cancel the order if theyre going to come as the second rim with that offset!

They should stick out about 1" more than your stock rims.

Never thought I'd see concave wheels mentioned on an F150 forum...lol

You're right though, to get that concave look usually requires aggressive offsets.

Hahaha its the import car part of me from highschool that still lingers

I was going to buy Volks for the f150....but at $900 a wheel... and driving in gravel and mud...i think not.

That what i figured now that i seen the second picture of the wheels. i have an impulse buying problem and just pulled the trigger without doing more reasearch since they were the size and offset I want...

To give you an idea, these are 20x9 with +30 offset. I can take a pic from a different angle if it will help, just let me know.

It is an optical illusion on the 2nd wheel. The pics of mine with the +30 offset looked similar to the second pic you posted, but I bought them knowing they would set further out than the stock 20s at +44 offset, and those were plenty. Have no fear, it will be fine.

That's what I am thinking now that I actually drew out the full size wheel and I would love to get them in the first pic but I think thats gotta be the -24 offset they come in which is waaaay to much.

Sure if you could take any other pictures that would be awesome!!

Haha probably! I've seen them on some nissan and toyota trucks but thats about it!

I noticed they have 6x135 in some of the te37s...it was only a dream since i know how/where i drive and they would be junk in no time!
