I don’t disagree that some aftermarket rims look worse than stock (and that some people spend $1500+ to make their car/truck look worse), but I just have to disagree on the type Ys…. They were the look I was going for, and if they don’t look better than stock…. Well, again I disagree, but to each their own I guess. before and after pics: Net cost to me was $1k after selling my steelies

I know this is an old thread, but I really like the looks of this tire/wheel setup. I was thinking of something like this or the Voxx Lago or Touren TR79 in an 18 with a tire similar to these or Michelin Defender LTX in 235/60r18. I’ll be going AWD, but don’t think I really need an AT tire.

Questions:

No Level on this truck, correct? Does it look level just because of the weight in the bed?

How is clearance from suspension parts with 45mm offset?

Any rubbing?

I just want to chime in and say I think there are a lot of wheels that people put on these that look terrible, but these are not one of them! The black on white is a style that works pretty well and these wheels don't look out of place at all on the Maverick. They look like a much more expensive version of the black FX4 wheels - like what Ford would have done if they hadn't cheaped out.

I just got my Atlas blue XL scheduled (Finally) so I'm now looking hard at wheel options.
