I just installed a 2.5" leveling kit in my 2016 F150. want to know if 295//65/18 tire will fit and what should the offset on my wheels be?

 

Zero or positive offset!

Negative looks dumb on a level kit. Sticks out too much.

You should go +18 on a 9" wide wheel or 0 on an 8.5" wheel

Those tires will clear easily.

 

I guess that would be a matter of opinion. I would also be my opinion that nothing looks worse than oversized tires on the factory pizza cutter wheels sucked all the way into the wheel well. Looks goofy like a strong wind will blow it over.

 

That being said I would say at least a 9" wheel with a -12 offset being the most i would go. That is of course if you want a nice aggressive truck look, or go the other way for a nice Toyota camry look.

 

20x9 with 0 offset with 305/55's and Rough Country 2.5" level.

They still stick out a little bit.

 

Even +18 on a 9" wheel sticks out a bit and looks agressive. -12 looks like a skateboard and wears wheel bearings, ball joints, etc. much quicker.

 

Not talking a -44 chico mobile here offset here. Almost every custom tire wheel setup on most trucks starts at 0 and goes to a -19, beyond that yes it gets ridiculous. As far as your theory on a -12 wheel destroying everything in the front suspension maybe a bit excessive and not really based in reality.

 

Any chance we could get a shot from the front showing how much poke? Thanks!

 

The wider the wheels stick out the greater chance of rubbing.
I'd stick around +18, it'll look great and shouldn't rub

 

Did I say it would DESTROY EVERYTHING?
