0mm offset 18x9 rims fit on 2.5 inch leveling kit?

Hey I have an 07 f150, will 18x9 rims with a 0 offset fit well on 305/65r18 tires? (33.6 inch tires)

They should yes. Maybe minimal trimming on the front valance plastic.

Not first hand, but your offset is more of an in-between from my experience. I have +18 offset wheels, and I put 1.5" Bora spacers on, which I calculated at -16 offset. +18 had zero rub, -16 rubs at 3/4 lock on the back fender liner towards the cab.

Oh alright sweet, hopefully it works out. I'm gonna get one mounted on and tested this week before I buy the rest of the set. Thanks for the help

It will fit, I know from first hand experience with that exact setup

I was told my truck had a 2.5" level when I got it, but I think it was closer to 2. Either that or the OEM Springs and struts were just way shot. I had minimal rubbing on the fender flares and trimmed it just a tad.

This was before my recent coilover install, you can see the small amount I did on the flare. I trimmed the valance as well.



Pre fender flare and valance trimming, right after I got home with my new wheels


This is after the coilovers which netted me about 2.75" over stock form, if I had these prior to getting the new setup I probably wouldn't have needee to trim at all.


Granted back spacing will have some effect, mine are 5"

Damn dude that looks sick. I think it should be good then. Can you send a few more pictures of your truck? struts and a further away overall view of your truck would be great!

From: Lockport, La.
295x70x17 Toyo's (33.5x12) but on 17x9 wheels with 0 degree offset or 5 inches of backspacing. These wheels should be the same as the 18's but one inch smaller in diameter. 2004 Lariat I had that was leveled 2-1/2 inches. No rubbing with these tires and wheels so the 305's on your 18's should be the same.





I had the 295x70x17 Toyo MT's on my '04 Lariat. They were on 17x9 with 0 degree offset American Racing Craters. 33.5x12 and fit perfect on these wheels.

The coils are F150Lifts Boss coilovers, I have a thread I recently made that has more pictures of them as well as my thoughts on them. But for the record, they ride absolutely amazing.

Wow yalls trucks look great. Thanks for the help, I'll definitely give it a shot. And even with the 5inch of backspacing your control arms were fine without rub?

Thankyou everyone for the help

I got my tires and rims put on today, and I couldn't be in more love with it. No rub or anything. 305/65r18 on 18x9 pro comp rims 0 mm offset.
