Aftermarket wheel sizing questions.

[mpd510]

I read the stock Raptor wheels are +35 offset. My wheels knowledge is lacking, what would 0 offset wheels do on the the 37"

The numbers are millimeters, so the wheel would stick out 3.5 cm further than stock wheels. Seems like a small amount, but it's pretty signficant. Not sure anyone could tell you if it's going to result in any rubbing right now. From what I've seen though, Ford seems to be designing the vehicles to better accomodate aftermarket wheels with the current generations.

I may be joining you! Originally thought that the Venomrex 601’s would be it!!! BUT, the Method 305 DB’s keep growing on me. Like the idea of a little more cushion vs. 20’s.

Will wheels from gen 2 trucks fit on gen 3?

I was looking at a 17x9 beadlock wheel with a 4.45 backspace and a -14 offset. I am not sure how much different these are then the stock Gen 2 wheels. If the Gen 2s are +35 offset and these are -14, does that mean that the difference is -49 or nearly 2 inches? I would assume that 1/2 inch of that would be negated by the wider wheel? Any input would be helpful.

-14 is a ton of poke. If you off road hard and jump it, you will rip off your fenders

Gen3 raptor offsets are as follows:

Cast Aluminum: +1.3”/34mm
Forged Aluminum (bead lock): +1.3”/34mm
“Raptor 37” forged aluminum bead lock: +1.2”/30mm

For people who are getting different wheels to put on the 37's, are you keeping the stock 37 tires or getting different tires as well? I definitely want to swap the wheels out but don't want to take a huge loss on trying to sell wheels & tires and swapping both out.
