i have a SCab 09 f150 xlt with the 2" bushwacker pocket style fender flares.
i already have 35x12.5x18 nitto mud grapplers on my stock 18's and i really want 18x9 mamba m3's so i dont have to buy different tires too.
my problem is right now my tires barely stick out, maybe a 1/4 if that and i want them to be flush with my flares or pretty close.
the m3's only come with offsets of 12, 30, and -6.
which ones would make my tires stick out the most? i heard the -6 would make em stick out about 2-2 1/2 but im wantin to ask around to be sure so let me know please.

Here's mine with +18 Addicts in 295/70 trails. They stick out maybe 1-2 inches now

I have a set of bigger fender flares on the way. Hopefully it covers because my truck gets dirty real quick.

That sounds about right.

Mine stick out about 2-2 1/2 inches. Gonna get some bushwhacker extend-a-fenders pretty soon

Using the Stock OEM ford wheel as a baseline here is what your result will be with the above offsets you stated with your 35x12.5"x18 MG's. Based on what your looking for I would go with the +12mm offset.

18x9 +30mm offset = +1.3" farther out past fender than OEM

18x9 +12mm offset = +2.0" farther out past fender than OEM

18x9 -6mm offset = +2.8" farther out past fender than OEM

you bud... have just saved me hours of research. thank you.

but one question,

what if a person lifted their truck, wanted to keep stock rims, but still have the 2.8'' out of the fender?

wheel spacers perhaps?

How about for 20's?

For 20's, the offset would be the same as the 18's above, as long as the wheel was 9" wide, like shown above.

Why would you put any tires on your truck that throw crap all over the sides? It looks ridiculous and 99.9% of the time is not needed. Correction, 100% of the time.
