Wayne,
The +15mm offset works surprisingly well with those tires being over 12.5 inches wide once mounted. Do you have any head on shots or a side angle showing how much they stick out? My +14MM offset wheels with 12.5 inch wide Nitto Trails stuck out about 2 inches.
Also, how does the new F150 drive with the 6-inch lift? I am sure it rides great still, but how noticeable of a difference in handling do you feel?
I am getting too old for 6-inch high lifts but a 4-inch might work really well for me as I would mount a 34-35 tall tire, so really curious to the feel of the truck.
BTW, I am typically not a fan of 22-inch wheels on 4x4s but you pulled it off very nicely as the truck still looks very classy!

Great looking truck, looks nice and clean. A real head turner

Desert Dawg what is your wheel width though for yours to stick out 2 inches? A +14 offset on a 9 width would sit a lot different than it would on a 10-12 width rim. I would like to see a pic too showing how the wheels sit. It is a 22x9.5, so his +15 offset should make it sit basically flush with the fenders.

As for the ride quality she does ride different then stock but not in a bad way. In my opinion I like this ride better as I feel I have more control of her and performance has not suffered a lick. All in all I'm extremely happy with how she turned out! Like you said Desert Dawg she still looks very classy to me while still haveing that aggressive stance!
Sits almost identical to this truck posted by another user.
This is with the 2" level and 33x12.5
