I recently got a 2005 Screw FX4 w/ lame *** 17" factory wheels. I need to upgrade ASAP and already got some good ideas looking through the forum so far I'm thinking:
-2" leveling kit front & AAL in rear
-18" Black/chrome rims
-305/65/18 BFG AT

Now here is the problem my local store I buy my **** at said there are only 2 or 3 wheels with the proper offset (at least +30) they can get for me. I was on tirerack.com & seems they have tons that will fit....Why is it so difficult to find the proper wheels for the number 1 selling truck in America?

Any advice before I go back to my store?

I'd suggest a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing. There are a ton of options. Apparantly you local guy isn't very familar with F-150's.

 

Yeah, local guy does not sound to sharp. Check Discount Tire Direct also, that is where I just got my setup from. Rims are 18x9.5 +25 OS with 6.2" BS wrapped in Nitto TG MT 295/70/18 under a 2" Ready Lift.

 

Thanks for the kwik answers! Sweet set up pwrov1!

 

My advise would be to not go back to your local store and shop TireRack.com. We do have a lot of fitments and can guarantee the wheel fitments.
