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

[@armore8889]

What size of tires are +12mm

[@roncriswell2685]

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.

[@roncriswell2685]

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

[@americantrucks]

Thank you very much, Joe! Offset and backspacing is a mystery for most people. We really thought this would help! -Zach

@@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).

[@m118lr]

I totally agree..

[@jsay94]

They should also explain that agressive aftermarket offsets wear out OEM wheel hub assemblies fairly quick.

[@leejohnson7293]

Perfect explanation!

[@shredead]

This is the best explanation of this topic I've seen. Graphics of the differences help tremendously. Thank you!

[@graphguy]

Best video ever on the subject.

[@alejandromirelesrojas8193]

Is really

[@FtmfwId]

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.

[@cottonhill35]

So going to a 20x10 with a -18mm offset will poke around the same as a 9 inch width and -24mm offset?

[@terryrosenthal5990]

..finally , a GREAT VIDEO.. PICTURES TELL THE STORY..

[@Painfulwhale360]

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 :)

[@chrisboyd4126]

I just learned alot in a short amount of time. Great presentation.

[@Reverberocket]

I did not expect such a well-produced, informative video when I landed here. Well done!!!

[@americantrucks]

Thanks a lot for the kind words! We really appreciate it! -Zach

[@markzmudy1821]

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!

[@2-1inffwa97]

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

[@ChitownsFinest84]

Hands down the best video about offset meaning. Made shopping for wheels much much easier. Thanks guys!

[@americantrucks]

Awesome, thank you! Glad we could help! -Justin

[@D_Town_Throwdown]

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!

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

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.

[@aquaman0167]

I swore I wasn’t going to level my truck or put wheels on it. Videos like this make that promise hard to keep.

[@americantrucks]

It'll look great, Jack! You got this! 😂 -Zach

[@emejunelee5494]

what’d you end up doing?

[@aquaman0167]

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.

[@thisistheslam]

Man, I feel smarter about tires. This was a great tutorial on what I’m looking at when considering new wheels and tires. Great video!!

[@americantrucks]

Thanks for the kind words, Chris! Glad it helped out! -Zach

[@freakfiveoh]

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.

[@snooka2484]

Best presentation of offset and backspacing.

[@samlemma]

Man it took me so long to understand wheel offset until I stumbled on this video. Wow - amazing! thank you!

[@christiantruther9367]

Great breakdown and just what I was looking for. Thanks

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

[@davidfitzgerald2057]

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

[@americantrucks]

Thanks for the business David- we appreciate it greatly! -Justin

[@DanTheRVMan]

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?

[@Esianegg]

with all the other competitions I think I find this the best video and best website to buy rims and tires.

[@aaronhankins1509]

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.

[@Ensoniqdude]

Simple explanation, great video representation……overall perfect video for this topic. Thx AT!

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😂

[@mandmedia5841]

Great video 👍🏻 I really didn’t understood offset before

[@moonbounce]

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.

[@kurtzimmerman1637]

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

[@brandobecerro]

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!

[@dlg5485]

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.

[@chadrack7617]

[@vesakittela5793]

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.

[@entrepreneur_journey7]

THANK YOU. Just what I needed to know. Getting some nice wheels

[@vincesk8er971]

[@califpv]

I have +10 305 /55 's on my 17 f150 and I love that it just barely comes out past the fender... To each his own ✌️

[@tbsb8428]

Please let me know what is the backspacing on the Black Rhino York 20X9 with the +12mm Offset? That set up is rad and looks great. Ready to buy that wheel/tire combo. Btw- could I do a +285/60r20 with that wheel set up with no issues? My front end is raised 2.5 inches...

[@prestonweitersjr.9460]

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.

[@joshuaschmidt5552]

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”.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

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.

[@Sagittarius-88]

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]

Spacers would be your best bet if you want to keep your factory wheels, for sure! -Zach

[@dunedude2385]

@@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?

[@darklight4815]

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.
