I'm going to be downsizing from a 20X12 -44 offset to a reasonable 20x10 -19 offset. This should help with strain on the hubs. Currently I stick out 5"+ from the fenders in the front.

Nope no spacers, I wasn't expecting them to stick out as far when I got them. I had to trim a ton of my stock bumper and eventually go aftermarket. I feel like it's putting a lot of strain on my hubs so I decided to get a smaller wheel and offset.

I had to trim a bunch too.

I'll probably go down as well on my nxt set of wheels.

Id be afraid of squeezing through any tight spots with the wheels sticking out that much!

It's not that bad after you get use to driving with them for a while.

I have hopped my fair share of curbs though.

Someone I worked with had an 05 ram with wheels that stuck out probably a touch more than that. I had to move it once through a tight spot and was afraid of whacking the curb with them.

Haha you get used to it, I gauge it off my mirrors. If they fit my wheels will fit.

It does make it nice when in parking spots people can't park that close to you

Ha I know I like the 20x12 but they only come in -44 offsets. Have to step down to a 20x10

about 10 or 15 years ago, two young women were driving in a Jeep Wrangler with tires sticking way out, kinda like your pic. They were in the right lane of a four lane road, (Ballard Bridge in Seattle ), crossing the Seattle Ship Canal. The driver got too close to the 1' tall bridge curb, and the tires climbed the curb, then the railing, and then the Jeep went over the side of the bridge. It's probably at least 75' to the water surface. They speculated the tires just ****** her hands off the steering wheel, and they were just along for the ride after that. They both died.

It's completely off topic, but what brand is your bumper?
