Wheel/Tire/Offset gurus

So I am looking for some guidance on a wheel/tire set up.

I have a 2024 F250 Lariat 6.7 and I’m planning on installing the 2.5” Ready Lift (Spring Spacer kit)

I would like to run 37’s but also want somewhat of an aggressive stance. The wheels I will be going with are the 20” Method NV/MR305, I just don’t know what width/offset I can get away with. I don’t mind cutting a little plastic; however, I don’t want to have to make any larger modifications like cutting metal or spacing the front bumper.

The options are

20x9 -12

20x10 -18

20x10 -24

If 37’s aren’t possible with those wheel specs, what is the most aggressive set up I could do with 35’s?

When you say aggressive... do you mean having the wheels sticking out like the roller skate look?

My wheels are 18x9 with 0 offset / 5" backspace. I have no clearance issues with 37x13.5 tires, but I am sitting higher with the 5.5" suspension upgrade.

This is going to look terrible. Why do so many people want the weird rolerskate brodozer look? Meth?

18x9 +20mm. If 2017 and 20+ have the same axle widths.

No, definitely not looking for the whole wheel outside the fender well. Im looking for a little bit outside the fender, like 2".

I just don't want the wheels flush with the truck, if that makes sense.

Go to the Gallery on Custom Offsets, and do a search. You can break it down and fine tune your results.

Then you need a positive offset wheel. Never negative. 37" are going to stick out a bit, even with a max tucked offset. Negative offset may rub the fender.

Screw Custom Offsets flatbilla stuff. Check out Carli and CJC off road builds.

https://www.cjcoffroad.com/blogs/cjc-off-road-blog/2017-ford-super-duty-wheel-and-tire-fitment-and-trimming-guide-for-fitting-35s-37s-38s-and-40s

Use a 18"x9 +18mm wheel. If thats not aggressive enough for you with 37x12.5 tires, move up to 38x13.5" tires.

if I cant talk you out of the 20" rims, at least Kenda makes a 37x12.5 MT2 im 20". (Amd 17, but saddly not 18") The Klever MT2s are the most aggressive looking, but decent truck tire, that ive seen yet.

I'm not saying buy from Custom Offsets, I'm just saying their Gallery is huge, and shows pretty much every single possible combination of wheels, tires, and lift sizes out there.

Hell you can break it down to brand / size of wheel, brand / sizde of tire, and brand / size lift.

Chances are, if you filter the results, you're going to find what you're looking for.

I'm running 20x9+1 wheels with 35x12.5 tires and wouldn't want anything more aggressive than this. I almost regret not going with a +20 wheel when I got these.

I had 20x10 and I think maybe -24 wheels on my truck before. Swapped them for 18x9 +18 and it looks so much better in my opinion. Grew tired of the tires poking out too much really fast.

my truck also has a 2.5 level kit up front with oem 17-19 (or tremor) blocks in the back.

Thank you for the link! That is exactly what I was looking for. Also those Kenda tires look great, thank you.

I'm thinking about changing wheels on the KR and am looking at these. My question is which one will sit inside the wheel well the best? I'm running LT295R65/20 Nitto Terra Grappler G3's
