20x9 for F150

Looking at the following wheel for a 2009 F150 2WD.

20x9, +20mm offset with 33's. I do not want them hanging out of the fenders. Possibly doing a small leveling kit from Readylift.

What do you think? Go with this or the split 6 spoke at Eagle/MotoMetal 951/KMC ?

What is the backspacing of the wheel? I'm not good with offset. Personally, I think any of the MM, Eagle or KMC wheels look better than those. Also, I would not go with the Readylift. You can buy the same kit from Autospring for 1/3 or 1/4 of the price of the ReadyLift.

A 20mm offset is going to be pretty aggresssive and will bring them close to the fender lip. Won't come out, but will be close. 30-35mm is better to keep them in the well.

The backspace of that rim will be 5.8" so it shouldn't hang out at all.

They will stick out about 1.25 inches farther than the OEM wheels.

offset

Yea,
It can be a hair confussing. I have read many go with the XD or MotoMetal with a +18mm, but I think I always see them on pre 09's like 07's. I think the 07 does not need as much offset as the 09.

With the MM951 and a +18mm offset I see it alot when trying to figure it out, but very few with the +30mm. Too many choices -- to me it seems most go with the +18mm.

The +18 offset looks just right, sticks out not far, but just enough.
