About This Ford F-150 Raptor Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Red Ford F-150 Raptor sits on a set of 22×10-inch Asanti AB813 Cleaver wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Asanti for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Ford F-150 builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the Red exterior with the Asanti AB813 Cleaver creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Asanti AB813 Cleaver on the Ford F-150 Raptor
I walked up to this Raptor at the show and the first thing I noticed was the stance. The 22x10 Asanti AB813 Cleaver wheels sit perfectly flush with those massive factory fender flares. We run a wider wheel on these trucks to match the aggressive track width, and this 10-inch setup nails the aggressive look.
Getting the offset right on a Raptor is a nightmare if you guess. These wheels feature an offset that pushes the face out just enough to clear the high-performance brake calipers. I checked the back of the barrel and the clearance is tight but safe, leaving zero room for rock interference.
The hub bore on the Asanti wheels is precision machined for the Ford platform. We always insist on hub-centric rings if the fit isn’t perfect, but these slide on like a glove. This eliminates vibrations at highway speeds, which is a common issue with cheap aftermarket wheels.
The spoke design on the Cleaver wheel offers a deep, multi-dimensional look that pops against the suspension arms. Because the Raptor uses a complex coil-over setup, we have to watch the inner clearance during full compression. These wheels clear the suspension arms even when the truck is fully articulated off-road.
You might worry about rubbing with a 35-inch tire on a 22-inch rim. With this 12.5-inch wide Nitto Ridge Grappler, the tire sidewall is firm and doesn't bulge excessively. We noticed zero rubbing on the inner fender liner during tight turns.
The barrel lip depth on the AB813 adds a level of sophistication you don't see on standard off-road wheels. It’s deep enough to look custom, but shallow enough to keep the structural integrity intact. I wouldn't hesitate to take this setup through some light trails.
If you plan to lift the truck, remember that the suspension geometry shifts. This wheel setup works best with a leveled or stock height Raptor. Any higher and the proportions begin to look a bit skinny.
What We Recommend for Ford F-150 Raptor Owners
Don't fall for the trap of going too wide on your offset. If you push the wheels out too far, you will destroy your paint with road debris and kill your steering geometry. We recommend sticking to a +12 to +20 offset for the cleanest look on these trucks.
Square setups are the only way to go on a 4WD Raptor. Staggered widths will ruin your transfer case and mess with the traction control system. Keep all four corners identical to ensure the drivetrain stays happy for years.
Watch your tire choice carefully. The Nitto Ridge Grappler is a fan favorite here because it offers a quiet ride with a mean tread pattern. Avoid cheap, soft-compound tires that will wear out in five thousand miles on a heavy truck like this.
We see way too many guys install spacers to fake a wider stance. Never use wheel spacers if you can avoid them, as they add unnecessary stress to your wheel bearings. Spend the money on the right wheel width instead.
Measure your wheel wells before you buy. Some Raptor years have slight variations in the front crash bars. If you experience minor rubbing, you can trim the plastic liner easily without affecting the safety of the truck.
Style and Build Analysis
The Titanium Brushed finish on these wheels is a stroke of genius. It provides a refined, metallic contrast against the bold Red paint of the Raptor. Most people choose black wheels, but the brushed finish captures light in a way that shows off the spoke geometry.
The AB813 Cleaver is a bold wheel with sharp, angular lines. It echoes the aggressive, industrial aesthetic that Ford baked into the Raptor from the factory. It doesn't look like a generic street wheel; it looks like a piece of high-end machinery.
The proportion of 22-inch wheels on 35-inch tires is the current sweet spot for a street-driven Raptor. It fills the wheel arches completely without looking like a rubber band setup. The sidewall of the Ridge Grappler is just thick enough to provide that rugged, off-road appeal.
I’ve seen dozens of Raptors with different wheel combos, but this one hits differently. The brushed metal finish draws your eye directly to the center of the wheel. It makes the truck look lighter and more agile, even though it's a massive vehicle.
This build proves that you don't need a crazy lift kit to make a truck look custom. By focusing on the fitment and the finish, the owner created a cohesive look that screams quality. It’s a sophisticated take on a truck that is usually just about brute force.
Why We Love This Build
This Red Raptor catches the sunlight in a way that stops traffic. When the Titanium Brushed finish on the Asanti Cleavers hits a ray of light, the whole truck glows. It manages to look both ready for a desert run and clean enough for a high-end car meet. We love how the wheels tuck right into the arches, creating a planted, aggressive stance that demands attention.
The combination of the bold body color and the intricate wheel design creates a perfect balance. It’s not overdone, yet it’s impossible to ignore. Every time I walk past this build, I find a new detail to appreciate in the machining of the spokes. This is exactly how you modify a Raptor with class.
Do it right the first time and you will never regret the investment. This truck is a masterclass in clean, functional style. Get this setup and your truck will finally match your vision.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Ford F-150 owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 22×10-inch wheels fit my Ford F-150? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Ford F-150 owners run 22×10-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
