Looking at fuel mavericks @ -24 like i said i dont want to beeak crap or be worried about breaking stuff so much. This is more for a look rather than off road functionality. Again not sure if i want 20 and 35 or 22 and 37. Leaning towards the 20 and 35 combo

Forget about mpg.

I'm averaging anywhere between 12-13mpg to a tank with 37's and 3.92.
And that's driving it light footed. 35's might be a lil better but I'm not sure with your 3.55. I think gasser said he was getting like 2-3 mpg with his 3.55's.

Now...if your not doin major off-roading you'll be fine. With either wheel combo you decide nothing should break given all is installed correctly.

Why does it have to be a 22 with a 37?

It dosen't have to be. Just was curious. I did some looking around and actually like the way our trucks look with the 20s and 35s at either a -12 or -24 offset depending if i change my mind on flares or not. Heard flares mess up paint and im not wanting that.

There is a couple guys here with lifts that don't like flares and others that love them. I tossed around the idea just cause of rocks, but I'm not getting them.

jknappen · Sep 22, 2015

Not sure if i want to pull the trigger on them yet. If i get them they will be the pocket style bushwackers and painted to match.

gassersarentdead · Sep 22, 2015

I would've got other pocket style cause bushwackers are way overpriced and would've bed lined them. That's just me though. I have 37s on 20s and wouldn't have done it a different way.

A 20x10 -24 offset with a 35x12.5 tire will stick out about 2.75"-3" past the fender. If I were you I'd go 20x12 -44 offset with 35's or 20x10 -24 offset with 37's.

Flares won't do anything to help guard rocks on a lifted truck. They just fly up behind the flare and hit the rocker panel anyway. The only way to stop rocks from going anywhere is mud flaps. And who wants those?...

gassersarentdead · Sep 22, 2015

I've got new scratches almost up to the door handles from rocks. I park in a gravel parking lot at work. It sounds brutal pulling onto the pavement. I think my steps get hit the most.

Rzrman328 · Sep 22, 2015

Guess ive been lucky...my wheels stick out about 3" and no rock chips.

gassersarentdead · Sep 22, 2015

You ******* live in sand

gassersarentdead · Sep 22, 2015

And don't you have all terrains?

Rzrman328 · Sep 22, 2015

Haha there's no sand here.

It's dirt and rock.

You have the Terra's?

gassersarentdead · Sep 22, 2015

Trails

Rzrman328 · Sep 22, 2015

I have the toyo R/t.

All terrain/ mud terrain abomination lol

The side lugs that protrude past the fenders are still pretty aggressive.

The inner middle part of the tire is the more all terrain portion.

I've got some A/T2's on order. Once Method gets their **** together and starts filling their backorders that is haha. I know a few guys who got the R/T's and love them.

Personally I think flares look dumb as hell. Tons of guys where I'm stationed here are running them and they just look ugly IMO

I have seen a -44 offset they stick out like crazy it seems. I have seen some 20x10 and 20x9 with a -24 or -12 and not stick out so far. I am not totally sold onfender flares yet. guess if they stick out too far then I can get flares to help make them look like they dont stick out so far
