2023 Ford Raptor- Continuation

It looks good though.... lol

I put a set of 35x12.50x18 KO2's on my truck today, which is just levelled. No rub at all going forward, even at full lock, but they rub bad going backwards. All the people saying this setup with close to stock offsets not rubbing is full of **** unless they hack the crash bars out. Something I don't want to do...

Not calling you a liar but that is hard to believe. I tried raptor tires, 315/70R17 or something like that, which are 34.6" and I rubbed in all directions when turning. All I could do without rubbing was go straight. It is crazy the variation these trucks have.

raptor wheels have a lot more offset which is what KILLS tire fitment. I’ll make a video and take some pics tonight or tomorrow that show it.

@ITTOG Here ya go, this is the least amount of room I have in the entire steering from full lock to full lock. Miles of room. If I trimmed the grey plastic I would have even more room, and I nipped off a 1/2" chunk of it after taking these photos and fixed my rubbing while backing up full lock issue. Zero rubbing. Also, I looked up the BFG tire spec and the 315/70/17 is the same height, but is 12.8" wide. That's the killer.

And just for fun;

What is the offset of these wheels?

I don't have a clue to be honest. I'll see if I can find it.

Fuel's website says this wheel (Fuel Pump) comes in an 18x9 either +1 or +20. Not sure how to tell which one it is? Any ideas?

Thanks for the info and pics. Before I bought the raptor take offs I was at Ford getting my truck serviced and ask them about the offset and they said they're the same as my stock 20 inch rims. I guess I should have done the research on my own.

Your truck looks great by the way. Mine is Ruby red as well but yours is better because it doesn't have any chrome. I am working on getting rid of the chrome. Earlier this week I plasti dipped my skull caps. Now just to do the door handles, the platinum tailgate plaque, and a few other pieces.

I have to correct myself. I looked up the actual specs and they're a +34 on the raptor wheels. I don't know how these 35x12.50's fit as my fuel wheels are either +20 or +1, but they do... No idea why lol

Well that was much deeper than expected. Dropped into the hole and it just kept getting deeper... Committed and water came over the hood for a brief moment.

OEM Raptor wheels have 0 offset, I didn't know about stock F150 feels having negative offset.

Holy hell! I wouldn't have guessed it was that deep either by the looks of it!

Google seems to think raptor wheels are a +34. I dunno though

Does anyone know the wheel offset of the 2017 wheels?

I've looked online and cannot find anything as to the offset/backspacing on the stock wheels. Not sure if it's the same as on the 2013/14s where it was -34mm. I went with Method wheels on mine and they had a 0 offset which pushed them 34mm or 1.4 inches further out. I like that look (slightly...

Me neither, sinkhole/washout for sure, i've been down that road before and it's usually like a foot deep

I just went and looked and my raptor rims are +34 and my stock rims are +44. So apparently the -10 difference and the wider raptor tires combined makes it a no go for me.
