Pocket style flares?

jroc1209 · Apr 5, 2013

Yes aftermarket they stick out a few inches from the body

10" wide rims will be flush

jake09 · Apr 5, 2013

If they are the pockets with the little plastic rivets then they stick out like 2.5"..will need 10" with -24 offset to sit flush..but may rub some if only doing a level with 35s but should be fine!

What Jake said. Depending on the tire as well, you make stick out about 1" past the flares in the front.
But it still has the nice stance

I got pockets ordered for mine :emotions33:

help!!! $2736 for Toyo 37 13.5 r 20x10 either -12 or -24 offset

6' rc lift with bilsteins at 1.4 or 2.1

what if I use a 20x9 or should I use the Nitto 37 12.5

jake09 · Apr 6, 2013

Go with -24 offset if have fender flares/will also give you extra clearance from aarms..You can set them at 1.4 or 2.1 but 2.1 will look a little better imo...But also increasing your angles on cvs, ball joints, etc..but a lot of ppl are running 2.1 or even max so you'll be fine. But you will need around a 1.5" rear spacer if go 2.1 so won't be nose high

What about rubbing? That is my biggest concern. I am just trying to find the right shock height and tire/wheel combo

jake09 · Apr 6, 2013

With 13.50s on 20x10 -24 offset it may rub a little if set at 1.4 but shouldn't much..You'd be fine set at 2.1" -24 offset and 1350s..shouldnt rub at all idt unless it hits that lower front valence but that no biggie , can trim it or remove that anyway..12.50s or running the -12 offset will definitely eliminate the chances of any rubbing on the fenders..but should be fine either way

scmowry · Apr 6, 2013

Do the -12 offset look goofy with the 1350s?

jake09 · Apr 6, 2013

They look fine..you just won't have much clearance at all between the uca's but will work!..I would do 1.4" bilsteins and 1.5" body lift if was me..but if no body lift id go 2.1"

scmowry · Apr 6, 2013

great so 2.1 with 37 1350 with 20x10 -24!!! Thank you! I just couldnt pass up this deal on wheels and tires

jake09 · Apr 6, 2013

No prob..should be fine, but all trucks run a little different everytime height wise..Worst case if it does rub some, through a small 1.25" or 1.5" body lift on and will get rid of any rubbing and look great..Can't notice those body lifts, cheap, and easy to install

scmowry · Apr 6, 2013

BLAH no BL for me. Ill just trim if I have to. I forgot the 1.5' rear spacer.

jake09 · Apr 6, 2013

This guy is running rcx 2.1" bilsteins 1350s toyos but on 20x10 -12 offset, so -24 may rub some but should work..I've seen plenty of ppl do it..Haha against the body lifts are ya??

If you don't plan on adding any big flares id get -12 anyway..i have -12 with 12.50s with stock size flares and they are flush.

scmowry · Apr 6, 2013

yea I hate em bad. I just dont like the seperation. Well damn. I guess then Ill stick with -24 and if it hits some plastic then just trim. I have NEVER been good with the tire/wheel combo

jake09 · Apr 6, 2013

Yeh i don't like gap from body lifts either, but i promise you a 1.25" body lift is not noticeable if you wanted the extra height..I know i have one! haha..but good luck man can't wait to see it complete
