Lets try and keep this on topic. We all live in different climates where road conditions and truck styles differ. What might be a hazzard from sand and gravel being kicked up in Alaska may not be an issue in the south states like Texas. To each their own.

Sorry, I meant to label the people who lift their trucks and run wide stance without running mud flaps and fender flares as a-holes. I didn't mean to bash everyone for it, just those who don't take into consideration the damage they can do and the safety risk they pose to others.

Thanks OP for getting this started! New to this forum and diesel trucks. I have a 2017 Platinum with a 2" level kit and I'm trying to find a 22" wheel and tire set up that won't stick out. I'm looking at a set of American Force forged 22x11 with a zero offset, 6" backspacing that I would pair with a Nitto 35" tire. Anybody have a idea how much this setup will stick out? I could go with a OEM fender flare painted to match if necessary. I would prefer to not have to go with the bigger Bushwacker flares. I am currently using the truck as my daily driver so any input on the best tire to go with is appreciated. Thanks for any help!

I too am glad somebody started this thread as I want to see what others have done...especially wheel & tire combos that don't stick out. I went through that with my previous Ram and I will never and I mean never do it again. The sides, and underneath of that truck were shredded apart and what was saved with flares was ruined by them rubbing the paint. It's somebody else's issue now but I won't do it again since I have a little more love for my Super Duty.

I'm not usually a huge fan of really wide wheels, but that is a fantastic looking truck. Probably one of my favorite 17's so far.

I've seen them quoting the stock wheels as +40. I'm looking at 20x9 aftermarket wheels and won't go any less than probably a +18 which according to a calculator I found will put the them out ~1 inch more than the stock wheel which I consider acceptable as they'll be pretty much flush with the fender. I just would like to see more real world examples as I don't want to be a $2-3K guinea pig

Well if my truck actually show up today, they should be unloading it right now, I hope to get wheels and tires on tomorrow if the shop has time to do it. Pictures will be up as soon as I'm done. My hope is to put the 1.5 level on tonight so they can do an alignment when I get tires put on.
