Smile Ordered a new truck!

Hello all,


This is my first post as I am new to this forum. I just recently placed an order for an f250. It's Oxford white with an Adobe interior, XLT, super cab 8 foot bed, 4x4. Fx4 package, camper package, snow plow prep package. I'm super excited, this is actually my first new vehicle I will have owned! It was also be a big step up from my current '92 standard cab short bed f150.


Moving along, there is one modification that I want to do to the truck when I get it and that would be wheels.


I really want the Fuel Hostage wheels in 20x9 with a +00 offset with 305/55R20 E Nitto Terra Grapplers. Truck will be stock height, I do not want to mess with putting a leveling kit on the truck yet. I'll mess with suspension once it outside of it's warranty.


I was wondering if this package would be too aggressive. Should I go with a lower offset? I've seen this rim in +14, +18, and +20 offsets as well.


NOTE: The tire size noted above is almost exactly the same overall diameter (1mm Taller) as the stock 275/70R18 tires that will be coming on the truck.


TIA

Keep the rims in the + offset and you should be fine, mine are -12 and stick out quite a bit.

So would you say the +00 offset is too close to the - side then? Maybe I would be better off with a +14 to +20....

The 20x9 0 offset will stick out about 2 inches compared to stock, probably flush with the fenders?

I think that would be fine.

That's pretty much what I'm looking for. I want it flush with fenders to maybe a little tire sticking out but nothing crazy.

Thanks!

are you in the north east (salt belt), new trucks are made of aluminum. aluminum has about a 6 hour exposure life before it literally starts to decompose.

Welcome and good on your new truck.

As for offset, sage advice, stay as close to the OEM offset as you can.

Your only slightly taller tire should not have a major effect on its performance. What axle gearset do you have?
