I'm sure someone will be along with pics. But, a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of BS is gonna stick out 3.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels while the 18x9 with 4.5 inches of BS will stick out 2.5 inches farther than your stock wheels.

i got an 08 f150 and if i had the 20x10 with 4.5 bs with 33x12.5x20 toyo m/t and it stuck out roughly 4 inches then would it clear the inner fender shields i guess u call them and still be able to turn as far as u can with out hitting or rubbing anything???

My understanding is that you will have to do some trimming with the 20x10 with 4.5 BS amd 33x12.5s.

Sorry for the late reply, but yeah, trimming the valance is my understanding. And yes, the valance is the black plastic part on the bottom of the front bumper. This also supposing you have a level lift. Don't know about flexing though as I do not actually run this set up, just going by what I have gathered as I will likely be running this setup. Good luck.

thanks, yea i have the levelin kit and i got to thinin about the flexin thing yesterday and if the 20x10 stuck out that far then when the back of the truck flexes i figured it would tear up my fenders, but would the 18x9 do the same thing or would it be just small enough to go under the fender????
