So this cabin fever has set in for being in the house snowed/iced in for 3 days. I decided to venture out to my local dealer (less than 2 miles away) and kill some time. They had 3 4th gens lifted 6" each using FabTech lifts. 1 on 35x12.50x20 Trail Grapplers on some what appeared to be 20x9 Monsters. The other 2 both had "Ultra" wheels I believe that look even narrower, or had a much more positive offset because they sat in more in comparison to the Monsters, but these 2 had 37" Mickey Thompsons! On the ones on 37s I could see where they trimmed out the lower bumper valence but nothing on the door side in the fender wells, surely it doesn't rub or they wouldn't sell a brand new truck that way???? Regardless after seeing the 6" Lift on 35s in person I definitely don't think 20x12 would fit. Back to the drawing board!!!
Now after reading the "Dealerships Installing Body Lifts" thread I may try to negotiate that into the truck deal and save myself some manual labor. The kit is supposedly 2" leveling kit + 3" PA body lift and still retains all factory warranties. Not a bad gig. If this was the case, and I'd have 5"s of lift, I think I would go with some tall 33x12.50s and run the 20x12s with no rubbing.

I have 35's with 2.5inch front level and a 3inch PA BL... running 17x9 rims with 35x12.5 Toyo MT's and I dont rub, the offset on my rims is +20, however im running 1 inch wheel spacers (25.4mm) thus creating a -5.4mm offset, i think your going to have issues, cause when i turn my wheels to the right and get out and look at the drivers side it sits about 1.5inchs from the corner of the fender (38mm away) i dont rub anywhere though.
