Correct Offset

[JoeKer]

Hi All,
So I thought I was of average intelligence until I started to try and figure out what the correct offset would be to purchase for my new setup. Here is what I'm looking to purchase...

6" Lift (Superlift of Zone. I already have the Bilsteins ready to go for it)
37" Toyo Open Country AT2 or 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers
20x9 Fuel Mavericks or 20x9 RBP 94R's (Unless I need 20x10 for the 37s??)

If you guys can help me out I'd really appreciate. What offset would I get for those wheels? I have a Laramie and would like to stick with the Flares I have.

If it's easy enough please let me know what I would need if I went with 35" tires as well. I wanna pull the trigger really soon so I appreciate all the help yall.

Joe

And before anyone tells me to reference this thread or that, I have and I'm still clueless. That's why I'm asking for the answer. Thanks again.

What are you setting the Bilsteins at on the lift?

A 20x9 0 offset will give you the least chance of rubbing. With them your tires will end up sticking out past the fender by approximately 2" (1" past your OEM flares). Personally I'd go with a wider stance because too narrow with a lift doesn't look good IMO. 20x10 -12 offset will definitely look better but they will be sticking out further and you may have to trim a slight amount of plastic on the back of the inner fender depending on what you're setting the Bilsteins at.

If I were you I'd go for a 6" Zone lift with the 5" rear coils, Bilsteins set at 2.1" to level the lift, 20x10 -12 offset Fuel Mavericks, 37x13.5 Toyo MT's. Just my 2 cents.

 

[JoeKer]

Thanks Brandon I appreciate it. At -12 offset how much further would they stick out? I agree with the wider stance looking better I was just trying to avoid replacing my fender flares. I like the clean look of the factory ones vs the rivets in the aftermarket ones I've seen.

 

[JoeKer]

What if I did 22's? I obviously have no clue here. But it should be the same offset right as long as the width remains the same?

A 20x10 -12 wheel with a 37x13.5 tire will stick out about 2.5"-2.75" past the fender depending on the tire. So 1.5"-1.75" past your flares. Don't worry about replacing the flares. Honestly, once you're lifting they don't do anything to protect the side of your truck as anything that could fly up will be coming up being the flare. You'd need mudflaps if you want any real kind of protection.
My tires stick out 2" past my flares currently, my new ones will be out even further. Sure I have a few rock chips on the rocker panels but honestly they could have happened on a stock truck too... that's just the nature of a daily driven truck.

Correct. The diameter of the wheel doesn't mean anything fitment wise. It's only the width and offset of the wheel and the overall tire size that matters.

 

[JoeKer]

Sweet. Thanks again man. I appreciate you sharing some of your knowledge.

I have 20x9 stock longhorn wheels with 1.5 " wheel adaptors. They equal out to a -12 offset. (from what I've been told anyway. They look close) here's what the offset looks like. Nice aggressive stance! Like Brandon said you're much better off with mud flaps, it's crazy how much mine catch lol. The factory flares do help a bit but with that much tire sticking past them they can't stop much. Personally I like the Mopar heavy duty rubber flaps. They look beefy like the truck and won't pull paint off like moulded flaps. I've attached a pic of the mud flaps too.

Hey XRS. Sweet truck brother. I almost got the Longhorn. Love that interior. We have that black and brown in my wife's Acura TLX and it looks amazing.

Those tires don't stick out too far at all. I guess I was overthinking it and panicking about having some really wide tires. I'll definitely check out those mudflaps from Mopar. The wheels I really want only come in a -24

I'm glad someone else on here is rocking the black and chrome. Classy look. Thanks for the help.

Correct me if I'm wrong but a 20x10 wheel with -24mm offset on a 6" lift should work out just fine... and look pretty bad ass to boot...

 

[JoeKer]

I'm hoping so. I'm actually trying to go 22x10 (I started another thread about rubbing) with a 37x13.5x22 tire. I've seen a picture of one and it looks effing sweet. No idea if they had to make any mods for rubbage though. So I'm soliciting advice from everyone and their experiences. I'd hate to order all this stuff get it put on and then have to cut up my new truck and I don't want to add a body lift either.

Thanks man! Yeah I HAD to have the cattle tan leather! Lol

Yeah the -12 is a nice look. If I could do it over I would have done a 1.75" wheel adaptor though just to stick them out a bit more! A -24 would look great!

Black and chrome all the way!

With a 37" tire that will rub for sure... but you can make it fit.

20x10 on 35" with 1" to spare when you turn. It will work

You have 35x12.5's.... we're talking 37x13.5's. Totally different ball game...

I wrote it in another thread but I pussed out on the 37's. I ordered Fuel Mavericks 20x10 -24 offset. Going with 35's so the same setup as Ox. Good to know it won't rub though. My lift will be delivered tomorrow. Andrew at Bully's is the man. I ordered it Sunday. Not bad for freight. I ordered my wheels from a site I won't name and they're jerking me around a bit. Said wheels were available but now they're not. Already charged me and their price is really good. Not sure what to do.

 

[JoeKer]

Hey Ox,
You think I'll be ok at 2.1 on the Bilsteins? No rubbing?

With 35's you won't have any issues at all regardless of what the Bilsteins are set at.
