I have a 07 f150 reg cab 2wd and getting a 2 or 2.5" level for the truck.

Im going to be getting discount tires MB tko 18" wheels. The description has "25mtb" after...im assuming this is offset of +25???


1) My understanding is the higher +offset the more the tires are tucked in, and -offset they are pushed out? Correct?

2) I want a 33" tire and many are running 275/70r18. From what I have gathered, this combo will fit my truck correct? No problems with the control arm or other rubbing? If i get this size, ill go with Nitto terra grapplers.

3) I love the look of tires sticking out an inch or so from the fenders. Could I fit a 305/65r18 on the MB wheels and have it fit fine on my truck with 2-2.5" level with no rub? If i went this size, id get falken rocky mountain ats bc they look aggressive enough (from pictures), and are only $230/tire.

lets here some opinions and thoughts

 

Need to know wheel width.

MTB stands for matte black, it's the color code for the wheel.

The 25 means it has a an offset of +25.

Your correct about how offset works in your first question, for your second and third question, wheel width is really needed to determine those correctly.

 

they are 18x9

 

I would think that you might have more luck with the 275's as they are about an inch skinnier. This isnt to say that the 305's wouldnt work. Another thing to consider could be spacers depending on where you are rubbing. Some people on here have mixed feeling about wheel spacers however
