Hey members, I've looked through threads but haven't found anything exact to my situation, I also need to get this done shortly.
Once again would greatly appreciate your help. I recently had a set of 18x9 Fuel Maverick D537's on my truck with a +20 offset. I run 35x12.5R18 Toyo RT's. As you can see in the pictures they are flush with the fender if not a little tucked. I told the guy at the shop I wanted them to stick out about an inch or a little more and he obviously didn't follow my lead in that. He wasn't a huge fan of spacers either.
He called Fuel Wheels and they said we could return them and get a different set of wheels with another offset. What would 18x9 -12 look like on my truck? The other option in the D537's is a -44 offset which i think would be way much. How far would they stick out (would I need a 4" kit?), and would I need to switch out my factory fender flares.
My next questions is; I got a quote for a 4" suspension lift kit. He quoted it at $1068,88 with a labor fee of $220. It was a Fabtech or Tuff Country lift. Is that a fair price?!
And if not what else could I go for that's proven and affordable. You'll most likely say 6" but I'm worried about it being too tall for garages, and ruining my gas mileage even more.
Everyone is talking about tuners and I don't know that much about it, but if it will help my gas mileage a little or if something else would it would be very appreciated. Upgrading the side steps shortly too. As soon as Magnum RT steps will have the 3 step aside steps.
Thank you guys!

So I got a call from the shop today and apparently the -12 offset is not available in that wheel, at all. My options are spacers or go to a different wheel. I don't know what I would go to and I've looked around quite a bit.... Fuel Boost would be an option but I prefer my Mavericks!!!
