I'm looking to upgrade from my stock Fx4 rims and was wondering what offset would I need to bring my tires to almost flush with my Bushwacker Pocket Flares? I love the look of my truck from the side, but the stance from the front I'm not liking.

My truck..04 F150 Fx4

-Stock height (no plan to level or lift)
-Bushwacker Pocket Fender Flares 2" coverage
-Goodyear Duratracs 275/65/18 (like new so want to use them on new rims)

Would a 0 offset be enough? Again, I don't want them sticking out past the fender, just closer to the edge than the stock

Also not looking to break the piggy bank on new rims, any suggestions is appreciated! Thanks!

 

Here is how my truck sits now....

 

I have a -12 offset wheel and a 70r width tire and mine stick out about 2.5". I think with your set up, a -12 would be just a little less than that. You should be good with a 0 or -12 offset. If you plan on leveling it some day and stuffing a bigger tire on there, i would go with a 0 offset. Here is my truck. 18x9 -12 offset on 295/70r 18 tires.

 

Im going to get some flares for my truck too. How do your bushwacker's attach to the truck?

 

I'm think a zero to -10 offset maybe


I love the flares, they use the existing holes on the lip of the fender and a couple clips to attach.

 

Perfect. So no drilling then? I don't have the factory flares...

You should be pretty solid with a 0 or -10.

 

No drilling at all needed

 

Are you running a level or lift? I'm wondering how much rubbing I might get with a -12

 

I love the look of those tires. What brand are they? And I also would like to know if you have a lift or a leveling kit on your truck.

 

To answer both of you, yes, I have a 2.5" level. The tires are the Nitto Trail Grappler. Here is a better pic.
FireInspector, with a 275 size tire, you shouldn't have any rubbing with a -12.
