Trying to decide whether I should buy new rims or not. What width is the stock FX4 18" wheel on 05 150? If I go aftermarket, is 18X9 the right size? I will be running 305/60/18. How much will these stick out from the body?

 

The OEM wheels are 7.5 inches wide. You can run 305's on them, but it's pushing the limit as most tire manufacturers recommend an 8 to 10 inch wide wheel for there 305mm wide tires.
An 18x9 inch wheel will work fine. How much farther it sticks out than your OEM wheels will depend on their backspacing. Most will have 5 inches of BS (which will stick out 2 inches farther) or 4.5 inches of BS (which will stick out 2.5 inches farther than your stock wheels).

 

Thanks. I believe the BS in 5", I have to call and double check tomorrow.

 

I currently have these stock rims on my truck:

I'm looking to get:

Eagle Alloy Rims series 079 6-lug 18x9 rims

My tires are goodyear wrangler LT275/65/R18.

Is there anything to be concerned about? Would these new rims work?

Thanks,
Andy

 

If you have a 4x4, you will be fine.

 

I do, I have a 2005 F150 FX4 4x4 supercrew. So they should just fit like my current stock rims?
