Finally installed the bils and the rear spacers. Unfortunately I put the washer under the nut and not under the spring hat where it's supposed to go. Can't fix it til the weekend. 643976d76cfa98cc9d847865e181a214.jpg

Im no expert but i believe a +12mm offset wheel would require a thicker spacer , as the +mm offset moves the mass of the wheel inboard .
A - mm offset moves the wheel mass outboard .

With stock wheels like mine ( 20 X 9 ) with 4.5" backspacing / 0 mm offset the fear with the 35 " tire is rubbing on the inside wheel well , which is why I would require a 10 mm spacer to move the O.D. of the 35" tall tire 10 mm further away from my inside wheel wells at full right & left hand turns to keep from rubbing .

Hope this helps & someone please correct me if I'm wrong

I was under the assumption stock offset was +19. That's why I went with +12 while still positive just less than factory. But with that being said I don't know squat about offsets that's why I'm asking. Lol [emoji12]

Do you have 20X9 s or 20 x8s ?

My stock chrome clads are 20 X 9 s with 4.5" backspacing therefore having a 0mm offset , I believe there are 4 diff stock wheel configurations on the 1500s maybe more .

There is a thread here that has GREAT information about offset & backspacing and such with a really good explanation.
I'll post it up.in a few , got a find it .

Found it ! Just scroll down a bit for the wheel Offset & backspacing information.

Yep that's where I got my info from. It says under the stock wheel configuration section the 20x9 wheels are +19 offset or 5.75 back spacing. And I have the 20x9's. Now I'm really confused I would like to figure it out before I bite the bullet and order some wheels. Thank you for helping your info forces me to double check everything so I don't screw it up

Ha ha , not sure I'm helping ?
Now I'm questioning what my wheels Offset are I asked the Svc mgr @ my dealer ( probably my first mistake lol )
he said right away without hesitation and I quote " your wheels are 9" wide with 4.5" backspacing " he went on to say see how your tires stick out a little and aren't tucked in (I said yep ) that s because you have Zero inset at 4.5" backspacing on your 9 " wide wheel .

Hell , I took that to heart about 3 yrs ago and have been confident on my wheel specs Untill now

Your wheels don't have 4.5" backspacing lol. He was wrong. Like said above the stock 20x9's have +19.05mm offset which is basically 5.75" backspacing.

To the person asking about +12mm ofseet wheels. It "should" I put in quotes because I can't guarantee that offset will work with 35x12.5 tires but doing the math it looks like it should

So , if I purchased another 9" wide wheel that actually does have 0mm offset (4.5" backspacing ) and run the same stock tire I have now then my tires would stick out approximately 1.25" more than they do now ?

-12mm would be 4.5" backspacing. 0mm offset is 5" backspacing.

But yes if you get a wheel with 4.5" backspacing it will push out 1.25"
