Air Design Fender Flares questions

[Olives1050]

Hello All,

I have been reading a lot of the posts on here and you guys are great when it comes to finding good information.
I figured I would ask this here:

I have 2021 Lariat with chrome package.

I am getting the Ready Lift 2.25” leveling kit. I am debating on getting the air design fender flares and trying to figure out what color rims would go good with Agate Black and chrome bumpers/running boards/mirrors. My question is what do you guys think would look good on this and what offset would I need to have the tire flush with the fender flare?

Thanks for the help!

It's hard to say with just offset, as the tire width also plays a factor.

I have 18x9 -1 offset rims with 35x12.5R18 tires. I have a set of air design flares in the garage waiting to get colour matched, and when I test fit them on the truck earlier today, the tires were flush with the flares.

I appreciate it!! I am still trying to learn all there is to know about offset and tire width. I have a lot more information to figure out before I start purchasing everything first! Thank you!

Doing the same except 20x9 +20mm offset. How did this setup work for you?

Check this out. This is my build. My rims were 0 offset. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/2021-lariat-agate-black-3-5-build.7182/#post-127025

Thank you.

I saw your post, awesome looking truck. I am just concerned with being able to fit 35's on my Tremor.

I think the Tremor is 1.5" higher than stock from the factory and I added a 2.5" level. So with my estimated 4" over stock I hope they will fit the truck. My second concern is how much room do I lose in the wheel wells with the Airdesigns. Now the waiting game until my wheels show up to see it all of this fits.

If you want a flush look with the fender flares, a 0 offset with a 9 inch rim and 12.5 inch wide tire will give you what you're looking for.

A +20 offset will work too, but the tire will be pushed into the truck a bit, and the flares will stick out further than the tire by a bit.

If you want that flush look, as you've mentioned in your original post, go with a 0 offset on a 9 inch rim and 12.5 inch wide tire.

The diameter of the rim (18, 20, 22 ect..) doesn't make a difference on how far the tire sticks out, only how much sidewall you have.

I personally like 18's in a rim, I'm running a 35x12.5 R18 Tire on a 18x9 0mm Offset Rim. That gives my wheel a more aggressive off road look, since there's more tire sidewall visible, as well as improved offroad performance too. Ultimately, it's up to personal preference.

Here is how much poke I got with a 20x9.5 +15 offset on stock tires
