Fuel Hostage

[13hemi2dr]

Called a couple shops looking for these wheels and cant find them in town, found them on ebay in the 20x12 5x5.5 -44. my question is that fuel claims they do not make a 20x12 5x5.5 in the hostages when the tire shop called in to ask them and the site says the bolt pattern for the model is 5550? is that the same thing?

I must ask, what lift are you running to clear those wheels? I have that wheel in a 20x10 with a -12 offset on 4" of lift and barely clear 325/60/20's. Those are going to stick WAYYYYYYYYYY out and you'll likely have rubbing issues. Mine stick out a good 1.5"-2".

ill be running the Maxtrac 7in kit with the billsteins. still undecided if i want to add a 3in body lift or not, was orignially planning on running 37s with the maxtrac and the body lift combo but after finding out i have 3.55 gears and speakign with some mebers here about it im thinking maybe just the maxtrac 7in and 35s on htose wheels. do you have rubbing issues with yours?

Mine BARELY clear and it's not really a lift issue, it's because they stick so far out. My buddy is on 8" of lift with those wheels and he rubs like CRAZY.

Might look into the 20x10s then instead. Thanks for the heads up

I would man. My buddy with the 20x12's totally regrets having them and after seeing mine wishes he would've gone 20x10.

I'm doing a 2" level kit on my 1500. I just ordered a set of 20x9 -12 hostages. Plan on running a 295/60/20. How far out from my fender are these going to stick. While I have any issues with rubbing. I'm going with the nitto trail grappler. Haven't been able to get a straight answer.

I don't rub at all

i know this is goin to sound crazy, i have a set of hostages but not completely sure how wide they are. im running trail grappeler tires. and i was actually considering ordering a set of american force 22 x14s by next year.

I have moto metals that are 20x12 with the -44 offset on a 6 inch lift with 35's. I only rub at full lock in reverse to the left.

And yes fuel does make hostage in 20x12's
www.Rimzoneonline.com carries them

Thanks for the info guys. I'm debating on running my stock tires on the hostages until they wear out. But I'm kinda worried it will look dumb with the -12 offset and stock tires. The wheels that are coming on it from factory are 20x9 but I just wonder what it'll look like with the different offset.

I was just trying to figure this same thing out today. Does anyone know if the 5550 bolt pattern Fuel has is the same as 5x5.5?
