I am looking at the KMC XD and Monster wheels. Intrested in 3 offsets -12, 00, +18. How far with the different offsets will the tire sit out from the fender?

Thanks

 

The difference between the 2 offsets are 1.18 inches. Depending on what look your going for and how much you want them to stick out, I would say the +18 would keep the wheel closer to the stock position, which will help keep the side of the truck cleaner. The wider stance that the -12 offset will give, does have a sweet look, but does also allow more mud and water to be flipped up on the side of the truck. The XD Monster is a sweet wheel. It was that or the new Enkei GRAB6 for me. I went with the Enkei and love it. Here are some links if you want to see both.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Some info on your truck would help.

 

its a 2003 fx4 Leveled...

 

Can you get the monsters with 5x135 bolt pattern, 18x9 with a +18 offset??

The Stock offset on the 03 Ford f150 wheels would be a +14. Every 10mm = .39". The higher up in the number you go will put the wheel closer to the frame and lower or negetive offsets will push the wheels out. The +18 will be .16" further in toward the frame from the stock wheels and the -12 offset will be 1.02" further out from the stock set up.

We do have the XD Monster available in a 18x9 with a +18 offset.

Backspacing is much easier for me to visualize at a glance. 4.5 or 5 inches is pretty much the standard for 97-03 offroad styled wheels.

 

ok so from the stock wheel how far woud the 0 offset stick out and how much farther woud the -12 stick out??

Thanks for your help just trying to get it straight before I order them...
