Don’t see this wheel on raptors. Would this be a good wheel to throw on a gen 1 on 35s??

Isn't the offset way out of line with respect to the original OEM specification?

Not sure I’ve seen on other threads people run -12 offsets. But that would make sense on why I don’t see them on raptors

I have reservations regarding the steering and drive mechanisms proximity to the sidewalls whenever someone wants aftermarket stuff. Using the normal 315-70-17 KO2's for rubber on your red colored wheel; the inner sidewall to the suspension and frame would be 1.81" Farther Away. And the outer sidewall would be 1.81" Farther Out. Not sure if that amount of "tire poke" is what you want, but I think the stress placed on the wheel bearings and the joints would be excessive. I should think it best were you to order these really nice looking red wheels with the normal +34mm offset OEM Raptors wheels have.

I don’t desire the extra poke to fling rocks on my truck. Im still trying to wrap my head around offsets and how they affect the vehicle. What would be the max/min offset on stock ko2 before unnecessarily stressing bearings and joints

I'm not an Engineer or mechanic, so I wish one would interject their knowledge on this one for us. You can mount OEM factory Raptor spec wheels and tires on an F150 but the inner sidewall protrudes inward further by .4" getting awfully close to the uppper arm. That's to say that you lose .4" of clearance. Highways no problem; but if you deflate your tires to assist in offroading, your rubber may start rubbing against this. Tire poke for my combination is by no means excessive as it appears to me it's only the sidewall knobs not so much the tread. Your desired red wheels on a Raptor with Ko2's that you list have a different offset that would place the rubber much further away from the upper arm - additional clearance is great, but all that tire/wheel weight is now sort of "suspended" further out. It would be like if you placed a 1.81" wheel spacer between the OEM wheels and hub. That's a lot of spacer.
