Nice. Like your choice of Color.

Mine's the same, 4x4, no Sync.

I really like the STX with that cab. If I didn't have kids, I would have loved to have one.

I also always thought the STX with that cab and a lift looked badass.

Did you choose the cloth interior or leather? I noticed that many people across the forum have picked a package that includes leather. I have a 2010 Ford Edge with leather, which I didn't really want but I got use to it. After seeing the new F150s with leather, it almost seems like the quality and thickness has diminished - so I went with cloth. My 2007 F150 FX4 had cloth and I loved it.

so apparently i wasnt subscirbed to my own thread! sorry for the lack of responses

i ended up going with the cloth interior, and had them add the carpet instead of the rubber floor mat.

the plan is eventually lower it, and i would love to get harley wheels for it. Finding them is the hard part, so im thinking maybe trying to get a set of 20"s from the FX4 and having them chrome plated.

mods have started but are happening slowly, so far ive removed the STX stickers from the box and had it tinted.

looking into getting either a tonneau cover or an exhaust next. unfortunately finding an exhaust for the 126" wheelbase seems to be limiting my exhaust choices

was also thinking about buying wheels from a forum member, but dont know how much further they would stick out compared to the wheels right now.

they are 20x9 with 6 3/8 backspacing and offset is +35

since im planning to lower the truck, i dont want to buy a wheel that will stick out or rub.. is anyone fluent with wheel numbers that could help me out?

Use this site

http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

Input your stock wheels and tires in the first column, then whatever you are considering in the second column. The bottom results show you the clearance differences.

short version is +35 versus +44 stock. Assuming the same size tire, they will stick out 9 mm

Leather is not an option until you get to the fx4 package. Lariat, platinum and king ranch (different leather than other models) comes standard with leather

Wanted to add: From what I understand, offset and tire size really make the difference.

For exampl: if you have a thinner wheel with the same offset., it'll have less backspacing.
But if you run the same tire, the positions of the tire relative to the truck will be the same. Even though one wheel has more backspacing than the other.
