35" Falken Wildpeak RT on Relations Race Wheels RR7-H Matte Bronze -- Cactus Gray RR

[GLT]

Good to know re the forscan adjustments. I really need to do it. I looked at the lengthy instructions and it seemed like alot of work haha. Gonna try to do it over Thanksgiving.

On my Gen 2 F-150 Raptor I had Eibach coils on the front and Deaver +3 HD leafs on the rear (I pulled a 5000 lb travel trailer), both of which were pretty stiff so I think I got used to it. My Gen 3 Raptor has SDI top hats and the ride feels exactly like stock, consistent with the feedback above on Ranger top hats.

My Gen 3 R is perfect. Not changing anything on this one.

35x11.50 will be my next tire. New to the RR, so I'm sitting back and researching while you guys figure it all out. Thanks for the post!

Thinking about picking up a set of RRW wheels, but I’ve noticed they aren’t hubcentric. From what I can tell, they rely on conical lug nuts to center the wheel. I know that’s pretty common with aftermarket wheels, but I’m wondering if anyone here has run into issues with vibration or fitment because of it. The bore difference is small enough that hub rings aren’t really an option, so I’d be relying entirely on the lugs.
Has anyone here had long-term experience with RRWs in this setup? Any problems, or do they hold up fine as long as you torque them down properly?

Today I had Hyperco coil springs installed -- 2.25" in the front and 1" (non-HD) in the rear -- and mounted my 35x11.50R17 Falken Wildpeak RT01 on RRW wheels in 17x8.5 with +25 offset. Very happy with how it turned out. No rubbing at all lock to lock, with plenty of clearance for the type of offroading I'll be doing. No trimming was required. I had the ReadyLift high clearance crash bars installed as well.

There's still a little bit of rake, which I'm OK with. I could've skipped the rear coils and it would've set almost level (probably would've been a little nose high, which I did not want). Also, I wanted to do the coils on all four corners.

The 11.5" wide tire really helped with the clearance. I was a bit worried the 11.5" would look a little narrow, but the Wildpeak RT has a fairly aggressive tread and big side lugs, so it looks pretty good IMO.

After considering the various coil spring (Geiser, Eibach and Hyperco) and lift collar offerings, I decided to go with the Hyperco coils based on my desired height in the front and back and the quality and reputation of Hypercoil. I didn't know much about Hypercoil springs until researching them -- they've been around for years and have a great reputation across many different applications. I've only driven it 15 miles on the freeway, but the ride was not noticeably stiffer, even on Dallas potholes.

Anyway, sorry for the long post and for the crappy iphone pics.

That looks so good! I may get the same tires but I’m running them on Method 703 17x8.5 +35mm offset so it’s really good to know that you aren’t rubbing at +25 because I’ll have a bit more clearance. Also considering AT4W in 35x11.5R17 since I loved those on my other truck. Hopefully this size won’t rub at full articulation with +35.

Did you ever get the 35x11.5 AT4Ws installed on the 17x8.5 +35?
