My buddy runs a set of fuel wheels and tires on his superduty. No issues in a year and he left them on in the winter as well as its his only set. 35's I believe on 20.

Fuel makes some great looking wheels. I've never heard anything negative about them.

Thanks for the replies guys.

My head is just spinning now. I spoke to RimZ One about a set of Fuel Mavericks with General Grabber AT2's 33x 12.50R 20LT tires. There recommending a +1 offset on a 20x9 wheel.

I spoke to Tire Rack and they can't guarantee the fit but are recommending a +20 offset for that same tire.

I spoke to a local tire joint here and he said that Tire rack or the place I'm buying the wheels from can answer what offset I need, but I'm getting conflicting stories.

So what offset do I need for my 2013 Ram 1500 Express QC currently stock, think I'm pulling the trigger on a set of Bilstien 5100 and putting the front up 2"

Spoke to 2 different people there and they both said +1. I'm ordering them tomorrow. Just ordered a set of Bilstiens for around my truck going to lift the front at least 2" if not 2.75. :favorites13:

I had them and they are super nice wheels. Definitely need to get the +1mm. If you get +20mm offset, your tires will rub with 12.50s. Tire rack recommended the +20 because the stock wheels are 20x9 +19mm. If you were going to put street tires on, that would be fine. But you need a lower offset to push the wheels out a little bit so you can fit the larger tires on.

Mavericks 20x9 offset +1

What size tire and kind are you running in that pic?

I found your truck in the lifted section last night and the +1 Mavericks you have on made my final decision to get the +1's, NICE set up, THANKS

+1 on a 20" X 9" wheels is definitely all you need to clear 12.50" wide tires . . . 33" tall is no problem . . . With the Bilsteins set at 2.1" you could clear 35" (Most of them are 34.5" any way) . . . With the Bilsteins the 33's will give you a bit of a lifted look, 35's will look a little stuffed . . . Depends on what you like

What did you guys do about the TPMS sensors? I plan on using the stock ones. My Dodge dealer said they will work fine.

Just ordered my Maverick wheels. :head3:

I bought a set of OEM's off of Amazon for $60 . . . They work just fine . . . I kept my factory wheels and Silent Armours to run in our crappy Ohio winters, while I sit in the basement all friggin winter long and polish my Dropstars

I got Fuel Trophys, with a -12mm offset. They stick out a bit futher, so they profile nicely with my fender flares.
