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
Off-road platforms put real, repeated impact loads through the wheel that street-only vehicles never see, so the factory strength margin on the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R isn't a formality — it's load-bearing in a literal sense. Forging matches that margin at a lower rotational weight than an equivalent cast wheel, which matters both on the trail and on the highway miles between trailheads.
The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R ships from the factory on a 6x135 bolt pattern with a 87.1mm center bore and a 17x8.5J ET34 wheel. Our flush reference for the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R is 17x9J ET12.; our maximum aggressive reference is 18x9.5J ET0. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R OE Wheel Specs
The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R ships from the factory on 6x135 bolt pattern wheels with a 87.1mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 17x8.5J ET34, offering a balanced ride that suits most owners without any rubbing or clearance concerns.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with steering response and highway efficiency.
- Wide tire and wheel availability at the factory diameter keeps replacement costs low.
- Lower unsprung weight than larger aftermarket wheels helps ride quality and acceleration.
- Guaranteed clearance against brake calipers and suspension components.
Flush Fitment
For a flush look without any body modification, most Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R owners run 17x9J ET12. This setup tucks the wheel face closer to the fender lip while staying within safe load and clearance limits.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
Owners chasing a more aggressive stance push to 18x9.5J ET0. Factory Fox Racing internal bypass shocks; 17x9.0J ET12 Method wheels; upgraded brakes; BFGoodrich KO2 35x12.50 R17 tires. Clearance should be verified before ordering, especially on lowered cars.

Decision Guide
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as: wheel width (in) / 2 + offset (mm) / 25.4 + 0.5.
- OE 17x8.5J ET34: backspacing ≈ 6.09"
- Flush 17x9J ET12: backspacing ≈ 5.47"
- Max 18x9.5J ET0: backspacing ≈ 5.25"

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.
