Help with wheels please!

[blackexpress13]

I have a 13 express with a 2.5 level and body lift
Looking into getting some wheels but there is so many offsets it seems and I really don't know which are the ones for me.. I have 35/12.50/20 tires

Also what are my 20" chrome clad wheels worth? I've seen them go for moderate to high prices

Thanks guys!

Not really sure what you're asking beside price for old wheels.

Which offset wheels to get?

Best bet is to stay with 20x9 0mm offset. You will not rub at all with that wheel. When you start getting into negative offset, it pushes the wheel out further away from the truck, then you might have rubbing issues on the inner fender. You could go with a -12mm offset for a little wider stance and you may have very minor trimming, but not noticeable at all. Problems come in when you get into 20x10 and 20x12 wheels with huge negative offsets. Also the stock wheels have a +19mm offset, you don't want anything much higher than +6mm offset due to tires rubbing on control arms. I would stay in the 0mm to -12mm offset range.

I have seen a lot of pics with -12mm offset. They stick out around 2". Would a 0mm offset stick out around 1" with 35x12.50 20?

1'' is about 26mm if I remember correctly. So if your stock wheels are +19, and you drop down to 0mm offset, that is right at 3/4''. Then add the width of the tire of a 12.50, is about 1.5'' wider than stock. Split that width and that is what you should have sticking out. 3/4''(rim) + 3/4''(tire) = 1.5". So on paper it should be about 1.5'', but all tires a slightly different so you could say in the range of 1.25'' to 1.75''. If the -12 sticks out 2'', then take the 12mm it takes to get back to a 0 offset, which is right at 1/2''. Wheew! lol. That is the way it was explained to me and you can figure just about any tire and wheel setup using that info.
