Stock offset is +44

I see he got a 17" OEM wheel on that 2021.... ummmmmm. I tried my winter 17" Ford OE wheel (that fit my 14 Lariat fine) and the 17" OE wheel WOULD NOT clear my 21 Lariat rear caliper.... FYI.

Plastidip fellas. Did it myself. You can get it at Menards.

I like the option to peel it off to put the wheels back to stock if I decide to sell. Wheels and tools are the the only things I’ll use the stuff for, but it looks good and holds up great with good prep work.

Just make sure you pull the wheels and hand wash them, mask properly, and the lay on a lot of thin layers with minimum 30 minutes between coats and I think you’ll be impressed with the results.

Worst case scenario you don’t like it... Just peel it off!

Really great job. First time I've heard of Plastidip . You have got me thinking of some uses. If I wanted to blackout my rear bumper or the chrome caps on my tow mirrors do you think Platidip would be a good option?

So, if I want to use the 17” Raptor wheels and tires, I do not want the Max Tow package......is this correct?
I suspect the rear brake rotor is larger diameter on the 9.75HD axle than the non HD 9.75?
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks

I think all of the Powerboost axles are 9.75. I'm assuming the Maxtow pkg has the 9.75HD which has the larger rear brake rotors.
Maybe someone can clarify.

Do you have Max Tow on your Lariat?

Is it confirmed that all Powerboost trucks have the larger rear calipers too?

No…just those with MaxTow
The caliper is not larger…..the rotor is.

Thanks NiftyF150! It is awesome. Did you pay someone doing it? Can you post the link where you buy the spray if you did it yourself?
Hey I have the same wheels, I am trying to find the largest size tire for this without rubbing. Any help?
