Installed the raptor wheel. Really like it a lot, it feels much better, more ergonomic, feels way better quality, like I think it should have been in something like a plati. Incredibly easy install, if I didn't have to swap buttons it would have only taken 20 minutes. But with the raptor buttons, things didn't work right.

So I had to pull it apart again and swap the buttons. Plus the gray plastic on the raptor wheel didn't match the rest of the trim in the car, I also need to adjust it a bit, it's off by a few degrees.

I had originally wanted to replace the red stripe vinyl with a gray, stripe, and I watched plenty of videos of people doing it, but when I took a closer look at the stripe, the stitching is continuous and I don't want to screw up the rest of the wheel, guess I will get used to the red. Sucks. I already spent money on the marine vinyl and thread.

They clear the rear hubs. No trimming needed there. Staying safe & installing LT285/65R18s on them. General ATX tires. (The speedometer recalibration cap is why I stayed small | 33.1”).

My OEM rims (18”x8.5”)

WOW! -12’s will be interesting to see. How much of the wheel was outside the body?

Nice, I have +12’s love the look but hate the rubbing and crap all down the sides. Your -12 will be almost a inch farther out.

I am on stock suspension so cant go big yet. Had 35x12.5's on my F150. I ordered the Hellwig front/rear sway bars last week, playing the waiting game for when they arrive. Then I will go the Bilstein route for a small lift until another company starts making real lift kits for the 4GEN.

That chart doesn’t look to take in consideration going from the stock +44 to your -12’s. That like 2.2”.
