2024 Ford F150 Lifted with 17×8.5 KMC Impact Forged & 35/12.50/17 Tires

This 2024 Ford F150 gets a serious dose of trail-ready muscle with a set of KMC Impact Forged wheels tucked under the arches, wrapped in aggressive 35×12.50R17 Avix rubber. The Impact Forged runs a square 17×8.5 with a 0mm offset front and rear, which is the sweet spot for a half-ton that wants to look tough without going overboard. Sitting on a lifted suspension, the F150 stands taller and carries a noticeably wider track than it did from the dealer, and those 35s finally give the wheel wells something worth looking at. The 0mm offset shoves the wheel face out to an honest, shoulder-forward position, so you get that planted, chunky look without burying the wheel behind the fender. The forged construction keeps the wheel strong and lighter than you’d expect for its size, and the whole package reads more built-for-the-dirt than showroom-shiny. It is the kind of stance that makes the truck look like it belongs on a fire road just as much as the highway.

Factory vs New Specs
Lined up against the way this F150 rolled off the line, the differences are hard to miss. Factory trucks in this class usually wear something around 32 to 33 inches of tire, so jumping to a true 35 adds roughly two to three inches of overall tire height. That works out to about an inch to an inch and a half of extra ground clearance at the axle before the lift is even factored in. On width, stock wheels tend to sit near 8 inches, so the 8.5 inch Impact Forged picks up a bit more width and lets the tire plant better. The real headline is the offset. Ford’s factory offset on these trucks generally lives in the +44 to +55mm range, and dropping all the way to 0mm pulls the wheel outward in a big way, roughly two inches farther out per side than stock. Combine the wider track, the taller tire, and the lift and the stance transforms completely, going wide and grounded and purposeful while the extra sidewall keeps the ride comfortable enough to live with every day.

Fitment Notes
Running 35s on a 0mm offset means you should plan for a little fitment work to get it dialed. On a lifted F150 this combo clears well overall, but at full steering lock or under compression you may catch some rubbing at the front of the wheel liner, and light trimming of the liner or a small pinch weld tap is common to keep things clean. That aggressive 0mm offset will let the tires poke past the fenders by roughly an inch to an inch and a half per side, so the factory flares won’t fully cover the tread and the setup sits proud of the body. A lift is effectively a must here, and this truck is already running one; figure a 2 to 3 inch level or lift kit as the minimum to run 35×12.50s without headaches. This is not a stock suspension setup, since bolting 35s onto a bone-stock F150 would rub hard at the fender and liner without that added height.
