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
Payload and towing figures on a truck are engineered around a specific unsprung mass budget at each corner. Forging lets ANKUSI hit the factory strength rating for the Ford F-150 Raptor R at a lower rotational weight than an equivalent cast wheel, which is the more meaningful upgrade on a work-capable platform than diameter alone.
The Ford F-150 Raptor R runs a 6x135 bolt pattern, 87.1mm center bore, and a 17x8.5J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 17x9.0J ET12, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Ford F-150 Raptor R. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 18x9.5J ET0 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Ford F-150 Raptor R OE Wheel Specs
The 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R (Off-Road Pickup) uses a 6x135 bolt pattern with a 87.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 17x8.5J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with everyday fuel efficiency
- A widely used size in this segment, so tire and wheel availability stays strong
- Keeps unsprung weight low for stable, predictable handling
- Maintains clearance for the factory brake calipers and suspension components
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Ford F-150 Raptor R (2023) 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: 17x8.5J ET34 → ~6.09″ backspacing
- Flush: 17x9.0J ET12 → ~5.47″ backspacing
- Max: 18x9.5J ET0 → ~5.25″ 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 Raptor R? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Ford F-150 Raptor R use?
The 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R uses a 6x135 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Ford F-150 Raptor R use?
The Ford F-150 Raptor R 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 Raptor R?
The Ford F-150 Raptor R'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 Raptor R?
Factory wheels on the Ford F-150 Raptor R are 17x8.5J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Ford F-150 Raptor R without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 18x9.5J at ET0 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 Raptor R?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 17x9.0J at ET12 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Ford F-150 Raptor R.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Ford F-150 Raptor R?
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 Raptor R?
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 5.47" 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 Raptor R?
The Ford F-150 Raptor R 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.
