So I'm figuring out my build and wanted an opinion from you guys. I'm going to install a 6" zone kit with 5" rear coils and bilsteins set at 2.1. This will give me a bit over 6" up front. With my 3.21 gears I've been told to not run 37s so I'll stick with 35s. My question is what offset? I'm thinking a 20x10 -24 l. I've also been looking at the 20x12 -44 too. I'll be running stock painted flares. What offset would you recommend? I like a prominent stance but I don't know if the -44 will be too much with stock flares. This may be a stupid question but does a different offset make a tire appear smaller or bigger? I've seen some trucks with my exact lift configuration running 35s and I think to myself damn that looks freaking awesome and then see others and think wow those tires look small. I'd love to run 37s but don't want to tear my truck up doing so.

37's are a bit big, but the truck can handle them. Although, with what you want, 35's will look sweet ( what I have ). I have 20x10 -24, and no flares , she looks beastly, i'd go with -24 over the -44 personally, the -44 is going to give you a pretty nice stance, but it'll stick out past those stock flares.

Not for nothing the back spacing difference between the two wheels is only 1/4inch if that..... theres much more offset with the other wheel but it's also two inches wider ..... I believe either or would stick out very similar

This is a 20x12 -44. They stick out about 3 inches. I don't have rock chips and my paint looks the same it did the day I put these on. But I think my next set I'll be going down to a -24.

I would go with 20x12's or 22x12's and 35x12.5's for your setup. A wider stance does make the wheel/tire setup look bigger under the truck to a certain extent. So with that much lift height going a little wider will look more proportional.

This picture was just taken today. I'm having a 4inch rough country put on next month. But these are 20x10 -24 offset. Planning on putting 295/60-20 nitto's on soon. But the picture gives you an idea hopefully

So I really like the stance of the 20x12 -44 but not too keen on the stretched look with a 12.5 tire. I can't run 37s cause of gearing so that seriously limits the ability to go to a 13.5 tire. I'm worried about curb rash on a wheel without much sidewalk coverage. How do I get that stance from a 20x10 wheel?
