I’m sure that this question has been asked a ton for of times but I’m cannot find the answer and am looking for help to point me in the right direction to find it. Thanks in advance and I’m sorry for my inability to find this information.

I had a 2014 stock raptor. I installed 20 x 12.50 rims with 33” tires. The offset was perfect for me. They stuck out of the stock fender flairs about 1 1/2”- 2”. I only had a tiny amount of rubbing in the inner wheel wells.

I traded that in for a 2019 raptor. It seems the new raptor may be a little higher off the ground. I’m getting ready to buy new tires and wheels and want to install the biggest wheels and tires I can fit without adding a lift kit. I would consider doing some minor plastic inner wheel well removal. I would consider a leveling kit. The most important thing to me is have the tires stick out the same distance as my old raptor.

I want to install the best combination with getting the same offset and getting the biggest wheels/tires I can.

I have spoken to many local installers and online companies and I get all different responses. Some say use the exact same combination I had. Some say 22” wheels with 33” tires. Some say 20 x 12.5 wheels and 35” tires. Finally some say 22” wheels with 35’s and a leveling kit. There are also many other combinations of all of the options.

I’m sure that many of you have gone through this exact same issue. Please provide some advise and/or links to solutions. I know this is long but I wanted to make sure I explained it correctly.

You bought the most off road worthy truck you can buy off the dealers lot...and you want to muck it up with 22" wheels...WTF?
Ok...got that out of my system, you enjoy your truck as you fit to...:)

There is a big mis-understanding about lifting 4wd trucks...you can gain tire clearance at static ride height but the will still rub when you start using up the wheel travel...whatever size of wheel you decide on I'd try to keep the offset as close to stock as possible to reduce whatever rubbing you might experience...
