Perfect offset on the new wheels. They look great.

Actually, it's more like 3/4"........ If you're wanting to split hairs here.

I like it. I do it to all my trucks. This time of year in Indiana, it's hard to keep it clean. And I like to drive a clean truck!

Thanks RedX. I'm thinking of doing it, have never had it done before. I had ziebart rust proof my 2012. I really need to take care of the exterior of my raptor once ford builds it,lol.

I just can't believe how much a set of wheels can change the look of a vehicle.

Looks perfect. I didn't see it, level yet? Same tires?

Yep, same tires. I did not do a level and probably won't. I have on my last two trucks, but this one only has an inch of rake, so I'll leave it stock. At least for now.....

It looks pretty good. I wouldn't mess with it, unless you want the 37"s.

I'm struggling to decide now with mine on going the 37" route.
