I've seen that chart. The reason I asked is because I saw a thread on a jeep forum about KO2s where they were claiming that the actual size of the tire is smaller than whats listed online. However, after doing some more research I don't think that the 315 or the 35 will work with my 0 offset wheels. I'm probably going to go with the 285/75r17 Nitto G2.

Yeah 35's won't work with a 0 offset wheel on the new generation F150 (crash bars). Even then if you cut them out, you'd have to trim other parts as well.

So do you need more positive offset or negative offset for 35s to work? I always get confused.

I have a 2013 with a 2.5 inch level so I would just be doing trimming but I still don't feel like going though all that trouble.

You need a positive offset. Positive will sit more inside the wheel well, negative sits outside the wheel well. Your factory wheels should be a +44 offset, and you'll notice how they sit inside your wheel well. I have a +18 offset with 35's.

Ohhhh I didn't know you had a 2013. You can fit 35's with a 0 offset, but you will need to do a little trimming. It's really not that bad, at least you don't have crash bars to worry about.

I trust what you're saying but I'm having a hard time visualizing it lol. My mind wants to think that having a greater negative offset would move more of the wheel "outside" away from the bars. I guess it will make more sense when I look at it in person.

speeddemon0712

Well you're right though haha. A greater negative offset does move the wheel outside more. But the more outside you go, the more likely you are to rub when you turn the wheel. Think about your driver side front tire and turn it right. If you had bigger tires and a negative offset wheel, that would push your wheels/tires farther away from your hub rubbing the edge of the front wheel well. Turn to the left, now your wheels/tires are rubbing the back side of the wheel well.

Oh! Makes perfect sense now. That's an excellent explanation!

Ok good cause I ran out of things to say haha.

Love the look of your truck BTW!
