How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
On a truck platform, wheel weight sits right at the unsprung mass budget the suspension engineers already spent on payload and towing capacity. A forged wheel keeps that budget intact — same strength, less rotational inertia — instead of eating into the margin the way a cheap cast aftermarket wheel can.
The Ford F-150 runs a 6x135 bolt pattern, 87.1mm center bore, and a 17x7.5J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 20x9.0J ET20, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Ford F-150. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 22x10.0J ET18 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Ford F-150 OE Wheel Specs
The 2018 Ford F-150 (Pickup) uses a 6x135 bolt pattern with a 87.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 17x7.5J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Keeps the factory ride quality and noise levels intact
- A common fitment for this class, so replacement tires are easy to source
- Preserves clearance around the OE brakes and suspension geometry
- Delivers predictable, easy-to-live-with handling for daily use
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Ford F-150 (2018) we drill the 6x135 pattern and cut the centre bore to 87.1mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.
The figures on this page are part of our open wheel fitment dataset — 10,093 vehicles, free to download, CC BY 4.0.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 17x7.5J ET44 → ~5.98″ backspacing
- Flush: 20x9.0J ET20 → ~5.79″ backspacing
- Max: 22x10.0J ET18 → ~6.21″ backspacing
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Ford spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Ford F-150? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Ford F-150: Specs by Model Year
| Year | Bolt pattern | Center bore | Factory wheel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 6x135 | 87.1 mm | 17x7.5J |
| 2018 | 6x135 | 87.1 mm | 17x7.5J |
| 2021 | 6x135 | 87.1 mm | 18x7.5J |
| 2024 | 6x135 | 87.1 mm | 18x7.5J |
Bolt pattern and center bore stay the same across all 4 model years in our database (2015–2024).
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Ford F-150 (6x135, 87.1 mm Bore)
In our database, 32 other vehicle entries from 3 makes use exactly the same 6x135 bolt pattern and 87.1 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
6x135 is used by 0.5% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (34 of 6,503); 100.0% of those also use a 87.1 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 87.1 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 87.1 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 93.1 mm | 93.1 → 87.1 mm |
| 100.1 mm | 100.1 → 87.1 mm |
| 106.1 mm | 106.1 → 87.1 mm |
| 108.1 mm | 108.1 → 87.1 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 87.1 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Ford F-150 use?
The 2018 Ford F-150 uses a 6x135 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Ford F-150 use?
The Ford F-150 uses a 6-lug bolt pattern (6x135), so you need a 6-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Ford F-150?
The Ford F-150's center bore is 87.1mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Ford F-150?
Factory wheels on the Ford F-150 are 17x7.5J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Ford F-150 without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 22x10.0J at ET18 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Ford F-150?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 20x9.0J at ET20 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Ford F-150.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Ford F-150?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Ford F-150?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 5.79" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Ford F-150?
The Ford F-150 runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
Wheel Installation Reference: Torque, Thread & TPMS
Thread & Fastener: M14x2.0, conical-seat lug nut.
Factory Torque Spec: 200 Nm (150 ft-lb). F-150 spec on M14x2.0 studs; confirm the exact figure for your specific model year, since Ford has revised this across generations.
TPMS: TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) has been federally mandated on all new light vehicles sold in the US since the 2008 model year. If your wheels use OE-style sensors, have them transferred or cloned to the new wheels at installation.
Tire Pressure: Always set tire pressure to the value on your vehicle's tire placard (driver's doorjamb or glovebox), not the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall — this is trim- and tire-size-specific and stays the same reference point when you switch to a different wheel and tire combination.
Reference data compiled from published OEM service specifications and cross-checked against independent repair sources; always confirm against your owner's manual or door-jamb placard before installation.
