I'm going 20x9 with as close to factory wheel offset as possible. I think it's like 44or 42 mm?
factory wheels are 20x8.5???????
Im planning on having the tires that are on it now mounted on the new wheels. These tires are almost new and when it's time to replace I will most likely purchase the same tire only one size wider. If that makes sense?

Yes, factory 20's are +44, 8.5 or 9. All Ford non Raptors are +44. The Raptor uses +34.
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
I need to look again, I thought you had 18" on there.
At any rate, 20" 6 spoke are gonna look good with the rear end lowered.

Do you think it would be a problem mounting a tire from an 8.5" onto a 9"? Only 1/4" difference each side. I don't want that "rim too wide for the tire" look but I don't think it will be noticable.

Hopefully, you'll be able to see a little more of those "purdy" new shocks through the wheel also. I'm a little worried about those ugly rusted hubs and calipers. Rustoleum time!!!!

No, you should be fine. Those are 275/55/20? My wheels are 20X9, stock tire and wheel both, and that size tire.

Yup, just checked 275/55/20. Hope that wheel comes in the offset I need. Guess I'll find out Saturday.

Offset is what keeps getting me, every wheel I think I'd like is down into less than +20. I did raise the front 3/4", but I've got the crashbars to worry about.
Luckily, even though you're not lifted, I think you'll have more clearance than I do. Hopefully those wheels will be in a safe offset for you.
