hey all, so i currently have this wheel setup.

37x1250x20 (TIRE) 20X9 ROCKSTAR XD (RIMS)

I have fenders but they are tucked behind the fender, what i'd like is for it to stick out slightly past the bushwhacker pocket style fender flares.

any thoughts on what i can run? what type of spacer but also aint so costly. Thanks!

I wouldn't run spacers for that affect. Maybe look at selling your wheels and getting a different offset.

Yup...it's the offset. Looks like that with the difference between a medium offset (+ 18mm - I'm guessin' on your XD wheel offset here - do you know it?) to a negative offset of -24. That equals 42mm or 1.65". Those are 10" wheels so add roughly another 1/2" to the outside give or take as the wheel center is closer to the inside edge of the wheel barrel. So call it about 2.15 inches further out.

Buy new wheels. Mount them up. Sell old wheels. Roll out.
I say throw some 4" wheel spacers on and let her eat

All about that offset.

Few guys run spacers but as already mentioned I'd advise against it.

From my own experience a 20x10 wheel with -24 mm offset and a 12.5" wide tire, the edge of the tire will stick out about 3" from the front fender. Below are pics with oem fender flares and one without. Spacers can be fine but can also turn out to be a lot of hassle or even cause problems.

Spacers are up for debate....there's threads through out the forum discussing the good and bad of using spacers. Some guys have run spacers for years with zero issues and more than likely same would go for you.

I've only run spacers on atvs and sxs's with zero issues. Never on a full size truck. There's a member on here who runs spacers and pulls like 10k lbs of trailer with no problems.

Me personally, I wouldn't. I just wouldn't risk the added component or extra part for added stress. If you wanna run the wider stance I would suggest getting the more negative offset wheels and be done. Just my opinion.
