Put these wheels on? yay or nay

Hey guys...
So i have 20inch Mazzi Hulks with worn out 305/55/20 tires from my old truck.
Tryin to decide if i should put them on my new ecoboost or not. Id have to buy new tires but i'd like to be able to switch them to my stock wheels for winter. Along with a leveling kit... Heres a few pics where i just test fitted them. Whatcha think?





Old Truck


If i buy 33/12.5/20 toyo mts i can use them on both wheels correct? Hulks are 20 X 10
I also think i can transfer my bushwackers from my old truck over but they'll need repainted..
Plus 2inch autospring in front

I'd love to sell these wheels but they have pitted slightly due to salt up here in PA....doubt id get half the money i spent for em

They look real close to your OEM's. I also think they stick out too far, reminds me of the lowrider trucks. Keep the stockers or choose a new style and offset.

I also think they stick out too far, maybe a 9" wide with 5.7 inches of BS would be better. OEM wheels are close on the inside with a 12.5 inch wide tire. More so with a mud terrain design. Just my 2 cent's

Keep the stock wheels. They are perfect. Wish I had a set of those for mine.

They don't do anything for the truck i.m.o. I would go stock or a different rim. And I agree that they stick out too far w/o the truck being lifted.

i'd stay away from chrome if it was me, but it looks like you are a fan so i'd go with a lesser BS'd wheel. if you do go w/ chrome wheels i'd remove your running boards, too much going on in that photo with the mazzi's.

also bushwackers on a leveled truck are ehhh. just don't look right, you need alot of lift to pull them off and still i'm unsure about them and ofcourse every truck on the dam road seems to have them now. if you do put some on get the 1.5" that they offer for the 09+ like fx4 for life 79 has on his.

I'll be the freak, I kind of like them.

Off the subject here, but have you ever been in Portersville? That pic of your old truck looks real familiar, I think I talked to you at Cal's one day getting gas about 9 or 10 months ago right before I traded my old truck in.

I dont think its all that bad, especially just for a winter set up.

Question though, Did you put your bull bar from your 04 on the new one?

On a side note, Bushwacker has different part numbers for the 04-08 and 09/11 trucks. I would be surprised if they fit right, if at all.

I think you can pull those rims off, but only if you are planning on going with a 35x12.5 aggressive mud tire. 33 inch A/T's look stupid on a pushed out wheel.

Thoughts on painting that bull bar to match?

Black goes well with that color and I wouldn't do flares unless you were higher up

I'm a big fan of the Mazzi Hulks. They are normally my wheel of choice. I've done them on my past 3 trucks (2008 Silverado, 2006 F-350, and 2001 F-250). I've got a 2011 FX4 in Silver, and think it is time to get away from the chrome and give the black wheels a try. Black wheels look awesome on the New F-150's IMO.

Go with the flares and the chrome wheels. I think it looks good. But I come from a part of the country that the norm is 10" wide wheels and fat tires to give good flotation in the sand.

The stock wheels look better to me. I doubt the flares from a 04-08 will fit, the contour around the wheel well changed on the new body style. Also, I would be concerned about the skid plate on the bull bar blocking too much airflow to the intercooler.
