Ok thanks guys. I don't mind the stock 20" but with tires that are wider they will hit my UCA, tire is less than a finger width away from them now.

I just put 12 and a half wide tires on mine and you have to put a quarter inch spacer only on the front

1/4" spacer with 33/12.5? Been looking at those tires just haven't seen them on a truck yet. Looks great.

Ok, I always have stuck with a wheel that is close to or the exact offset just because I am conservative and never gave different offsets much thought.
So does a lower number offset push the wheel out?
I know my rims are +19 stock so what does a zero offset do?
I'm actually looking to replace my rims now and the offset for the several rims I am looking at range from +12 to +20 but because of my mindset I am naturally leaning towards the +19 +20.

0 offset would bring the wheel out about 3/4"

I've had mine for over 2 years. 2" hubcentric on factory wheels. No problems at all.

So less offset brings the wheel out. I have the factory flares so 0 offset might be a bit much for clearance with my 275-60 20's. Thanks

So what is the total set up? Tire size and spacer? Did you level the truck?...
This looks PERFECT. Great job.
Thanks in advance for the info.

Don't trust them, will never use them. I have seen too many wheels fly off on the highway because of them. There is no substitute for going with the correct wheel offset.

Negative - offset puts the wheel out. Positive + offset brings the wheel in. Zero 0 offset would be dead center of the wheel.

Yea truck has i believe a 3" leveling kit. It was leveled when i bought it. Jusy put the 33x12.50 tires on. Had lift spacer in the rear and removed that as soon as i put the new tires on, and my spacers just came today so ill have to find time to get them on and post an updated pic. And thanks yes its coming along rather nicely slowely but surely! Hopefully next year i can get it wraped
