2021 F-150 Lariat Sport Leveled on 2" ReadyLift, 34's and Fuel 20x9 wheels + Black Ford Logos

Thanks! I see +18 is what ready lift suggests. Do you by chance know what would be best for minimizing the poke without trimming?

Typically the closer to the stock +44 the more clearance you’ll have. But even then you have to consider wheel width. Stock wheels are usually 8.5” wide.
I don’t know of any aftermarket wheels that have more than +25mm of offset.
A 2” level will normally keep you safe if you keep tire width within reason.

I think I was looking at 20 x 9, as that is what I see suggested by a lot of the aftermarket people.

I’m not as familiar with offset...so the bigger the offset, the more it sticks out? So a +30 would stick out more? I used to like that, but then got sick of everything always flipping up the side.

Basically the lower the number the more poke (sticking out) it will have. For example stock is +44 offset and the wheel sits closer tucked inside to the truck, +30 will have slightly more poke than stock, +12 will have more poke, etc. Also some aftermarket wheels even have negative offset for a more aggressive poke that stick out way past the truck like -12mm, -20, etc.

You’ll be fine with those wheels if they have a +18mm offset and a 2” level.

No - offset sticks out more

I got both front and rear. I was able to customize the emblem like I wanted. All black with the Ford lettering in iconic silver just like the truck. They were great to deal with

WOW! They look great but are expensive!!!

I got my truck on Saturday, dealer leveled it and installed my wheels- fuel 20x9's with +20 offset. I have terra grappler 295/60's on it. They also put my custom Ford emblems and the putco black platinum f150 lettering on. I added the BAKFlip mx4 tonneau cover, antenna, and some weathertech all weather mats.

Looks great! I finally have a build date of Mar 1 for mine (Lariat Supercab FX4) and thinking I'd like to do a small lift and a set of 20s similar to your truck...any issues with anything now that you've lifted it and different wheels/tires? How does it drive? My current truck took a lot of work to get it to not rub the tires on the fenders (but it's a GM vehicle and they think square wheelwells are cool!) and even with the lift I had a ton of work to do with the cut-off tool and am not looking to repeat that experience!

No trimming, just had the level kit installed and slapped the wheels and tires on. I never drove it with stock wheels so can't compare the ride. I haven't gotten anywhere near the powerboost a stated fuel mileage yet though so really hoping that's due to how new it is and not the wheels and tires

I love this setup, but I tow ~4-5k lbs through hills. I probably wont rub at all during regular usage in the city, but I would be more concerned with towing to the lake and launching the boat.

Love the truck fellow Iowan. I'd like to go with same wheel 20X9+20 and tire 290/60R20 setup but concerned about the small poke spraying rocks or road debris all over my paint. Have you noticed if that's a big issue?

It does spray yes- not horrible but less than ideal.

Thanks, would love to fit 285/65R20's on 20X9+20 wheels but no one can confirm if they will fit other than on stock wheels

I would guess they would be fine. I was able to put gator back mud flaps on with the slightest rub when turning. Fuel mileage was killed big time though for me.

Do you still have spray even with the mudflaps?

Only on the upper fenders and mirrors but it keeps my running boards and the side of my truck clear. I'm actually downsizing to regain some gas mileage. Put my stocks on to test the diff and picked up 5mpg's....
