Got this set of wheels the other day finally getting around to posting some photos.

I figured this is worth a share for anyone wondering these are 2018 raptor wheels with 315/70s. They did not rub at all at stock height.

Below photos are stock height:

I had a 2" level installed this morning which I think makes it come out perfect! Below:

Also finally got my Xtrusion Overland bedrack cut down to size as I was repurposing it from the silverado I had briefly.

Pretty pumped on how it came out. Cheers!

Thanks man! I am beyond happy now that I have it all sorted! I would have gone without the level but the rake was just a little too much with the beef under there.
Hope you get that shutter worked out ASAP look forward to seeing yours!

Looks amazing brother! ? I was trying to find a good deal on those wheels before finally settling for the 21 raptor non bead lock wheels. Those bead locks look sick and by far my favorite raptor wheel ford has made yet! :love:

That looks great! Do you have the Max Tow package? Wondering if they would fit on a truck with this. I think it requires 18" weeks at least.

Max tow wont allow 17s to clear the rear brakes unfortunately.

Can you put 18s on a truck with the max tow package?
Yes you can, some trucks with the sport package and max tow come with the 18 inch sport wheels from the factory.

This gives me hope my 285/70R18 with +20 offset will fit without rubbing. Do you remember the offset on the Raptor wheels? I think they are +34 or something like that. I guess I’ll find out if mine rub in about another hour or so when I go to pick mine up.

Nice!

Here's mine before leveling (Bilsteins are backorder til Feb?) with 1st gen Raptors and 285/70/17 Coopers from my old F-150. I wasn't sure if they'd look much different aside from being 1" smaller, but I do LOVE these wheels still. Subtle to most but much better, IMO

New wheels on old truck (2006 F-150 FX4) in case anyone's wondering out there. For sale!
