Default Aftermarket fender flare question? ... Will it look fine?

So I currently have 20x9 Mickey Thompson wheels +18 offset on 275/60r20 BFG KO2's. The wheels sit flush with the truck. (Refer here to pictures of the truck: https://www.f150forum.com/f31/stock-...wheels-384321/)

Now I want to buy the Barricade fender flares: https://www.americanmuscle.com/barri...le-flares.html

Is the offset on my wheels aggressive enough for them to look fine with these fender flares installed? I may just be super nit picky but I want it to look alright in the end rather than something like this: https://acdn.americanmuscle.com/i/221333_B24FD334.jpg
Not a big fan of how the wheels on that truck are so far into the flares.

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Yeah,I hate to say it, but a +18 offset may not be aggressive enough to fill those big wheel wells and flares.I think if you had a more aggressive offset like a -12 to -19 would be the way to go! Even a 0 offset would be the minimum to not have the sunken look .

good luck!

I have to agree with steelhead. I'm thinking with that +18 offset you might be too far into the wheel well. We usually suggest people try a 0 offset that way you have best of both worlds if you want to add fender flares later.

I have Bushwacker Fender flares and had OEM tires and wheels which made it look lame. I was finally able to gather the coin and got Fuel Couplers +1 offset and with my BFG KO2's the wheels pushed the tires out almost flush with the fender flares. You need at least a +1 or 0 offset with the fender flares.

I guess, judging from yours, since I also have the same size tires. My +18 offset won't be aggressive enough. Guess I'll be sitting this one out! Haha.
