So I am really liking these Fuel Podium's for my 2018 1500. Factory wheels are 20x8 which I believe are 19.5 offset. I'd like to go to slightly wider tire and staying at 33" tall so that would be a 305/55r20.
They only make this wheel (in this color) in a +20 offset which pretty much matches the stock wheels.
that would make a 20x9 sit the same with a 1/2" more wheel in each direction.
My truck is leveled 2" with Bilstein's.
I searched all through the Custom Offset gallery and can't find any trucks running 20x9 +20 with 305/55's
I'm pretty sure it will work but would love to hear from somebody who has something similar.
I don't want to do any cutting / trimming or deal with rubbing or I'll just stick with the 275/60r20
As for tires I'm looking at the Nitto Grappler G2 or the BFG A/T KO's
thanks for your help
Steve

295’s are a good option

Be mindful that wider tires will be better off with a smaller offset. Unfortunately those don’t come in a +1 in that color.

I run that size in Toyo rt’s on my stock black sport wheels in the winter I’m leveled as well with bilstein’s doesn’t rub at all and it clears the top control arms. Unfortunately i don’t have any pics of them installed only my red wheels

Do you know if the stock blacks are 20x8 or 20x9?
thanks

I’ve got 20x9 Fuel Mavericks with 0 offset and 295/60s without a level and it’s fine. Zero rubbing and no trimming. I’ve seen guys do 20x10 and somehow 20x10s without trimming. You’ll be fine

Stock black sport wheels would be 20x9. Chrome clads are 20x8

I really wish this wheel came in a +1. I'm sure there would be no rub anywhere with the +1. The +20 would be roughly 3/4" more inside than a +1. As I mentioned going from the stock 8" wide to a 9"wide and the same offset it would be about 1/2" more inside. I'm just concerned about the bulge of 12" wide tire on 9" wheel causing a rub. They make this wheel in all black with +1 offset but the fake bead lock bolt heads are gold. I really don't want gold!
I'm so close to pulling the trigger on these. GRRRRRRRRR

Are you dead-set on a 20" 6 spoke wheel in gray/black?

There are more options out there if you go with a single color or going down to an 18" wheel (smaller wheels are cheaper too).

Here's a couple examples I found from one of our Forum vendors, CarId:

The offset is where rubbing comes into play.

The all black Fuel Podium comes in a +1 offset but the bolt heads on the bead lock are gold.. I don't want gold. (and I don't want to paint them) I really do like this wheel design though.
Those Beast wheels are pretty cool. Still like the Podium....
