I just got whatever discount tire had in stock and actually like them.

So is a 0 offset probably going to rub a 37” KO2? +6 safe? +12? I’m not jumping this truck. 99% on road. Want some poke but no rub. I’ve got 1.5 collars. I presume that 35’s and 0 offset is no problem.

youll be fine - dealer put 0 offset and 37's KO2 at time of buying truck. Ran it like that for a month before added RPG and foutz levels
Thats the million dollar question. It seems to me that +12 still tucks but is closer to fender lip. +6 pokes out a tiny bit, but will clear fender lip for the most part. and 0 offset pokes out and will MOST likely hit fenders if you jump.
Update to my post above. Both my local wheel shop and my local offroad shop tell me that 17x8.5 zero offset OR 17x9 et-12 are the most common choices for gen3 raptor. The offroad shop said that zero offset 37'swill tuck. Not sure if I believe that.
Anyone here do 17x9 -12 on 37's???

Zero is common but i wouldn't do it with 37s. Try willtheyfit.com to get an idea of how different the wheel will be from stock. There are plenty of examples of sizes in this thread.

You sure you don’t have those offsets backwards. There is nearly 3/4 inch difference in the two. 17x9 0 offset is almost the same as 17x8.5 -12
While I don’t think 17x8.5 +00 and 17x9 -12 are the best or most functional fitments they are the most abundant. 17x8.5 +00 and 17x9 -12 are the most common fitments wheel companies build so by default they’re the most sold. Biggest reason behind that is the ability to fit a multitude of vehicles without paying for multiple molds. Cast molds can be 8-10k per style/size so it doesn’t make financial sense to have multiple molds for multiple trucks.
GM trucks can take lower offsets without the wheels poking out much. It’s been this way since the 2014 GM 1500’s came out.
Toyota Tacoma & 4Runner require 4.75” backspace to run oversize tires without hitting the UCA’s
Lifted Jeeps also require lower offset for proper clearance.
Even though these vehicles use different bolt patterns and center bores the same 17x8.5 +00 mold can be used for F150/Raptor. They just drill the pattern and change the center bore.
That aside, some people just prefer a wider stance
