AmericanTrucks Ford I want to go with a 24inc wheel on my 2015 f150 so what would be the best size to go with without any problem with rubbing but yet still enough tire for cushion on the ride
I believe I have a negative "24" on mine, I have aftermarket wheels and tires and I have to take it back to Ford because they were never balanced correctly.
@@americantrucks 1/9/20, There's really no reason to do this, the factory wheels do just fine, this is just something else to sell you. I live in farm country where contractors/farmers/ranchers w/real work trucks are outfitted w/the right equipment for what they do. Then there's the "pretty-boy trux" w/all this fancy aftermarket stuff.....that doesn't do anything @ all! I drive a 2015 Taurus w/a trailer hitch 4/a 4"x"6" mesh carry-all (1650 LBS/$600. in Lowe's), good enough 4what I need, cheaper than a trk when I don't always need a trk. (I'm ret. from a NY transit auth. where I've used many types of trux over time).
FYI, wheel width comes into play here as well as two wheels with the same offset yet one is wider than the other; the wider wheel will poke out more. Case in point is the first wheel was an 8.5" and the second was a 9". The wheel at the same offset would poke an extra 1/4" (or ~6mm) more. So going to a +12 in the 9" wide wheel from a +44 8.5" wheel has about the same poke as an 8.5" would at +6 offset. This is why these 20x12 -44 wheels poke out so much; it's not just the negative offset, it's the huge width change too.
EME June Lee I took the factory blocks off the rear and just lowered the rear. It’s the same as a 2X4 truck now. I can actually touch the bottom of the bed now.
My own personal preference as far as how far tires should stick out: 1” or less past the fenders if there are no flares. If there are fender flares it should also be an 1” or less past the edge of the flares. But hey that’s just me of course :)
Just spent almost $1900 on the website today😅😅 got 18x9 with -12 offset for my new wheels. New exhaust, headlights, and intake. I’m excited. Plus I’m installing my leveling kit for my new wheels next week
That's so awesome u came out with this video. Just so happens I'm waiting for the last parts of my lift to be delivered today. Have my tire/wheels sitting in the garage with a -24 wrapped in a 35"x12.50. perfect timing thanks
Great visual with the rubbing in the wheel well. I was having a hell of a time understanding why a positive offset would make it rub. It’s not the side of the wheel well closest to the engine you have to worry about, it’s the inside of the fender directly in front and back of the wheel!
Nice clear video guys, the animations help a lot. I don’t have a very aggressive offset on my wheels, but I question how much less I would have needed to trim had I gone with a most positive offset wheel.
I was pulling my hair trying to decide what offst to get. Glad i watched this video. I now know 0 offset is still offset from the stock wheels im replacing. I love the look of big neg offsets but living on a dirt road i will stick with tiny bit of offset
I've watched this video many times, and it is a really good one! The only thing missing is a 0 offset. It would be cool to compare the +12, the 0, and the -12. But well done overall!
I am glad to see companies talking about what the wheel and tire combos will do to people's trucks in a realistic fashion. Will you guys get into how these setups change scrub angle and what that means for stability especially while towing?
I love these videos, especially the ones with Justin. I am a new truck owner, someone who doesn't need to own a truck but wanted one so I am completely lost when it comes to most things trucks and every video I've seen with Justin is super clear and not too long-winded. I already bought running boards and an antenna from you guys and looking at new rims and decals next.
Thank you for taking the time to fully explain in great detail about offset, love your channel and will definitely be using your website for my new 2022 super duty!
I have the same truck same color and putting on basically the same tires. Glad I was able to see what they’d look like with offset. I’ll be getting some new rims before installing the Mickey Thompson tires. Thanks!
You should mention that wheel bearings will suffer with more offset. Be prepared to replace sooner. Also steering components will suffer and a tendency to follow road imperfections.
I have a 2018 F150 With a 2.5 supreme suspension level 17” BMF drt pro wheels 8.5 wide + 6 offset With atturo trailblade XT’s 35x12.5x17 no rubbing at all and about an inch of poke
Okay I realized some people like to make their big wheels look fancy but I'm getting sick and f****** tired of getting a rock slung on my windshield and having to pay for windshield repair and or replacement, in Louisiana it's illegal to have your wheels stick out past its wheel covering and the state police have announced they're going to start cracking down if you don't have extended wheel fender wells😂
My current setup on Hilux 2018: 265/60R18 9J ET+12 . New setup would be 265/70R17 8J ET+20. Offset calculators online say that poke would be 20mm less. But if i still have same width of the wheel 265 Wouldnt the wheel sink in less in to the wheel well (20-12 = 8mm). So I'd still have tyre "poking" out just 8mm less than the current setup.
Love the grey ford trucks! Think that is lead foot and the 2019 is called abyss grey, both of those are 🔥. Ordering one next year or might wait to see what the 2021 looks like
Thank you for the insights...great to know the pros and cons of off-set rims...now iam all set for zero off-set for my pajero for daily use and offroads
I have a 3 inch lifted STX..........stock wheels with 325/65R/18 tires............have my share of rubbing, mainly on the upper control arm. Hopefully this vid helps me out. :)
Remember, width and offset combined are what create poke. Trying to show what changing offset alone does should be done by only changing offset. The three wheels you showed have different widths, 8.5”, 9”, and 10”.
These kinds of things are always going to be highly subjective, and everyone obviously has their own opinion. When I went looking for wheel and tire combination for my 2020 F150, the possibilities were seemingly endless. However, it doesn't take that long to start whittling things down. Style, size, offset, hub bore, price, and availability quickly become factors, and the list of potentials gets quite short. My truck came with stock 20's (275/55R20), with the obligatory +44 factory offset. While there's a lot of options for 20 inch wheels, I was never crazy about that wheel size. I chose the path of less wheel and more tire. The final verdict was Fuel Assault 17 X 8.5, +14mm offset, with Toyo Open Country 3s, LT 285/75R17 load range C tires. The combination of less offset with a wider and taller tire has given my truck the exact look I was hoping for, and the Open Country 3s have performed well in the northeast snow. That being said, anyone who's unfamiliar with these types of things, but looking to change their factory wheels should watch this video, multiple times if necessary. It's very clear cut, informative, and gives a great visualization of exactly how offset will affect the look of your vehicle.
First of all, I do appreciate you taking the time to inform your audience of this very important issue amongst us truck owners. Secondly, if I want to maintain my stock wheel on my 23 F-150, how do I achieve the +12 offset (a poke of about 1") with spacers (I assume) ?🤔
@@americantrucks I was going to ask the same thing so lets say i put 35/11.50/20 on my current 20 inch stock ford rim i have a 2 inch leveling kit Will that mess up my offset any?
I have factory 18" wheels on my 2016 XLT...I'd like a more aggressive stance but don't want to modify anything and don't want any suspension issues to worry about...I want the all around multi purpose setup ,looks like that 12mm negative offset with a 20" wheel might be the answer for me.
You didn't discuss spacers. I know it's an inferior solution to achieving a more aggressive stance, but A LOT of people use them. I'm not a huge fan of really aggressive poke, but I do find this stuff interesting. Is using spacers safe? Does it harm the vehicle's suspension or hubs? For someone like me who prefers an OEM look but wants a more flush look, I'm wondering if simply using a 1 inch spacer with factory wheels is a reasonable option on a F-150.

What size of tires are +12mm

Will front and rear flaps help with mud and rocks slinging from negative 24 offset wheels?

This video should be at every tire and wheel shop in the country. Great explanation of what offset is. Awesome job
Thank you very much, Joe! Offset and backspacing is a mystery for most people. We really thought this would help! -Zach

I totally agree..
They should also explain that agressive aftermarket offsets wear out OEM wheel hub assemblies fairly quick.
Perfect explanation!
Best video ever on the subject.
Is really

So going to a 20x10 with a -18mm offset will poke around the same as a 9 inch width and -24mm offset?
This is the best explanation of this topic I've seen. Graphics of the differences help tremendously. Thank you!
awesome video. I always wondered what that off-set talk was all about.
Creddd xx x txted d
..finally , a GREAT VIDEO.. PICTURES TELL THE STORY..
I just learned alot in a short amount of time. Great presentation.
The best video i have ever seen explaing this
1/9/20, Useless aftermarket equipment on equally useless vid!
Preston Weiters Jr. If it’s not for you then don’t get it lol. He is just explaining something 😂😂
I swore I wasn’t going to level my truck or put wheels on it. Videos like this make that promise hard to keep.
It'll look great, Jack! You got this! 😂 -Zach
what’d you end up doing?
EME June Lee
I took the factory blocks off the rear and just lowered the rear. It’s the same as a 2X4 truck now. I can actually touch the bottom of the bed now.

Man it took me so long to understand wheel offset until I stumbled on this video. Wow - amazing! thank you!
Hands down the best video about offset meaning. Made shopping for wheels much much easier. Thanks guys!
Awesome, thank you! Glad we could help! -Justin
I find it fascinating the further from rural places and closer to suburbs and cities I get
the more off road looking vehicles there are
The flush offset is perfect
Great job and video. Thanks for clearing that up. Always wondered which offset to get and what was stock. In my case the +12 would be preferable.

i just got smarter now these are the classes i like 😎
1/9/20, No, you just got dumber. Who needs this junk? It's just some aftermarket, hi-priced stuff 2 sell U! ...... over & above original equipment.

Great breakdown and just what I was looking for. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! -Zach
I was waiting for offset to come out and be like “OFFSET WOO WOO WOO WOO WOO” lol if you get it you get it
Great job guys. Viewing this video is a must before you get them new tyres. Keep the flame burning.

You are correct. Changing the geometry of the bearing load will create nothing but problems. 🔩

My current setup on Hilux 2018: 265/60R18 9J ET+12 . New setup would be 265/70R17 8J ET+20. Offset calculators online say that poke would be 20mm less.

Thank you for this video! Now I know which tire set / size to get for my Fuel Contra wheels and tires
I'd go with the +12 "flush" offset with my truck. Just to bring the tires out a bit than look like they're stuck in there too much.
Best offset video
im rocking 22x 12. looks bad ass.

I like the 12 off set for my 2017 F-150
That truck looked pretty dam good with factory wheels and the mickey thompson's.
These kinds of things are always going to be highly subjective, and everyone obviously has their own opinion. When I went looking for wheel and tire combination for my 2020 F150, the possibilities were seemingly endless. However, it doesn't take that long to start whittling things down. Style, size, offset, hub bore, price, and availability quickly become factors, and the list of potentials gets quite short. My truck came with stock 20's (275/55R20), with the obligatory +44 factory offset. While there's a lot of options for 20 inch wheels, I was never crazy about that wheel size. I chose the path of less wheel and more tire. The final verdict was Fuel Assault 17 X 8.5, +14mm offset, with Toyo Open Country 3s, LT 285/75R17 load range C tires. The combination of less offset with a wider and taller tire has given my truck the exact look I was hoping for, and the Open Country 3s have performed well in the northeast snow.
