OMG guys!

Wowzers guyz! I have a 2008 4x4 f150 and I wanna know if I can fit 35s with a leveling kit!?!?

Okay not really, see the thing is, I have been going crazy lately buying things for my truck. And uh.. I bought some new wheels, and I know everyone is going to be bashing me. I'll spare you guys the book I could write and just say I got rockstars (18x9, 5.00" backspacing, 0 offset). I am totally curious to see how these are going to look with 37s on my truck . My current set up (ion alloy 174s) are 16x10 and 4.5" backspacing with -38 offset . My tires stick out like a whole 5" in the front () which is completely wreckin my paint, and I am not feeling that . I have to claybar the whole dang truck like every weekend to keep all the tar and crap off of it. Freaking long travel right?? Anywho, I was wondering if I could get some pictures of some trucks with a similar offset and backspacing set up. They dont have to be rockstars or 18x9s, but I kinda want to see if I am saving myself or my paint job any trouble, plus I really like the rockstars. Got a really good deal on them too... $788 shipped from sdwheelcorp.

Oh and heres a random pic to give you guys an idea of how far my tires stick out now

Those wheels are gonna tuck in 1.5 inches more than your current wheels.

Do you think your going to rub? Your tires look like they stick out further than mine and I have adapters.

Thanks wandell!

I hope they dont rub! They shouldnt anyways, I have LOTS of room to play with. I dont think any part of the tires is in the wheel well . I am trying to get trail graps, but well see what happens
