22" wheels on a lowered 04+ F150

Has anyone else noticed that the front wheels stick out more than the rear and that no wheel company makes a cure for this problem? 22X9.5 w/ a +30 or +35 offset, Wheel mfgs make one or the other never both. This truck needs a staggered fitment option, like 22X9.5 rear and 22X8.5 front. This way the wheels will stick out approx the same amount or with a smaller tire size maybe even tuck.

If the F150 is so popular, we should be able to get together and convince some mfgs to create such an option. This would give the street truck crowd a better option than:
1. Having the front wheels sticking out further
2. A crazy camber setup in front
3. staggering tire size only

I have a 2 wheel drive, my last truck was 4X4 and I think I may have used 4 wheel once in 5 years.

Am I the only one?

Heh, I thought I was the only one to notice.

It bugs the chit out of me too.

The back looks 10x better the way it tucks, and then there is the front....sigh.

Believe me -- I notice the front wheel issue every time I look at my truck!

If only I could get the fronts tucked in like the rears I'd be thrilled......

What you want is available all day long but at a higher cost than most are willing to pay.
1 pc wheels come in set sizes and 99% of them are now made in China so the cost is low and getting lower.
2-3pc wheels are forged and made to the customers requested size. But they cost from $800-$5000 each.
Plus they take forever to get when you are waiting
And if you just so happen to be unlucky and the wrong size is made for the front, you have another 4 week wait
