Anyone running a 4" with 20x12s?

[SuperTrooper]

Curious if anyone is running a 4" lift with 20x12 wheels on 35s. I see a lot of people with 6" lifts running these wheels, and I love the deep lip look. However, I'd like to keep my lift at 4" max cause I don't like step bars.

Pics are greatly appreciated!

Probably going to need some serious trimming , what's the back spacing/ offset on the rims?

 

[SuperTrooper]

The guys running 6" lifts are running -44 offset. Not sure if that same offset would be feasible or not with 4"...you guys probably know more about that than myself.

 

[Diminus]

Anything over -24 and I can see issues. Maybe someone can chime in to help you further but -44 offset your definitely gonna rub my friend I don't have hands on experience with that offset and lift height but my .02 is it will not end well without some serious trimming

 

[SuperTrooper]

In your opinion, would -24 offset be ideal for running that wide of a rim on a 4" lift, or would I be better off sticking with a 20x10?

 

[Diminus]

Personally I would go 20x10 but I don't know forsure the max offset you can handle with a 4 inch lift. I'm thinking you would swing the -24 offset 35s ok with none or very little trimming. But I don't have any hands on experience to tell you 100% my buddy. But -24 is a nice offset vs the stock +19 and with a inch being roughly 25mms (someone correct me if I'm wrong) each tire will be pushed out roughly 1.75 inches. Nice offset.

Hey diminus, could you possibly posted a picture of your truck with a close up of the stt's. Torn between those and toyos. Thank u

If you don't want to go 6 inch because of step bars then don't buy step bars. I have a 6" and no step bars but there's no way you'll fit -44. with a 6" I rub slightly on one point turning in reverse. But if I was to lose two inches, I'd need a sawzaw or a new front bumper.

But a 20x10 in a -24 offset is virtually the same backspacing as a 20x12 with -44.

Not quite the same as your set up, but here's what I got.
3.5" lift (front)
18x10 with -12 offset
295/70R18 - about 34.3" diameter

I have zero rubbing.

Use this to compare what you have to what you want; and get out the tape measure.
Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

Used it for mine, compared vs stock, and it was pretty much spot on.

Thanks, that's what I was needing to know. You have any trouble getting in and out of your truck without steps? Also, how's the ride compared to stock/leveled?

 

[Shawn226]

I have to use the oh **** handle but that's why it's lifted and rides the same just higher up

You running the 6" RCX lift? You have one of the two wheel styles I'm considering.

I'm 5'11", so I really won't have a problem with no step bars. Truck before this was a 2012 JKU Jeep with 4" lift and 37's and never had a problem, but my short friends like to ***** about it.

Before my truck I had a wrangler arctic 2dr with a 4 inch but yeah my girlfriend complains about no steps but it's fun to watch her jump if you know what I mean

 

[SuperTrooper]

I know exactly what you mean. Always fun giving them a boost though, if they're wearing a short dress!

By the way, how much of a hit did you take to your fuel economy after you installed the 6" lift and wheels and tires?

 

[Shawn226]

I'm running 13.5 mpg. I have yet to go get am exhaust intake and chip so, I'm sure itll fix after all that but that's what I'm running now

 

[SuperTrooper]

Damn, that's a helluva hit. I'm getting about 18.3 city right now, haven't even had it on the highway.

You'll probably require some trimming and bending of the pinch seem

A member on these boards named Elroy, lifted his on 6" Zone and did do a 20x12 -44 offset and has zero issues.
The difference in height between the 2 kits is 1"

Elroy's thread

Does your ram have the plastic bumpers or metal?
Metal offers a bit more clearance than the plastic ones due to the lower front valence

 

[SuperTrooper]

Mine is an express with the plastic bumper. I'm still torn between a 4 or 6" lift. I'm assuming a 20x10 on a -24mm offset would be good to go on a 4 inch lift, as compared to a -44mm on a 6"?

Am I correct?

No.
You basically will have the same issues. They only differ by a fraction and with 2" less of height, it's still not enough

This is your technical specs on 20x10's vs 20x12's
