Please help

I've been searching for an entire day and I can't find anyone with exact set up. I got a set of eagle alloy 079 for $100 I couldn't say no . My question is will they work when I lift my truck. They're 18x8.5 +35 offset with 6.25" back spacing. I want to run 35x12.5 18s bfg km2 tire. Any help is greatly appreciated. I got 2012 f150 4wd will be doing 6" lift. I'm also open minded about wheel spacers! Thanks

Welcome to the forum! When you get a chance, go over to the introduction section and introduce yourself to everyone.

People run 35" tires with a 6" lift all the time. Considering I've even seen people run 35's with only a 2.5" level and stock rims, I'd say you'll be fine. I believe stock wheels have a +44 offset, so a +35 should be good. You may have to trim some plastic, but it shouldn't deter you. Maybe someone with a similar setup will jump on and give you a more definitive answer. But I think you should be good to go.

I appreciate your speedy response. I'm hoping I can run them. I'm hoping someone had similar set up that can chime in. I wouldn't mind running spacers to have it poke out an inch or so If that would help.

It depends on what lift you use. Several suspension lifts for the 04-14 F-150's require wheels with less backspacing, like 4.5 or 5 inches.

Might be. Sorry, I missed that you had posted the backspacing on your initial post.

I'd start your search with discountire.com, tirerack.com, and maybe discountedwheelwarehouse.com. They usually seem to have the best deals available. Some even ship for free.
