I wonder???.... LIke in the front when the wheel is turned I clear it by over an 1", but in the rear, when the wheel is turned I clear it by maybe .5". What setup are you looking to run, i.e. wheels and tires??

damn.....it may hit
got a friend who Im trying to convince to go with 3" PA on top of his Bilsteins at 2.1.
He also wants 20x12 with a -44 offset but on 35" AT's rather than MT's

So I am dumb founded on this on whether it will rub or not.

you got a 20x10, -18 offset vs 20x12, -44 offset
I will stick out 1.25-1.5" more.....but will it still rub?

Thats the question

Im thinking a more negative offset and wider wheel will make it rub more...the narrower the wheel and the more positive the offset will tuck it under the fender, thus while turning rubbing less...just my thought process.

I agree! Great looking truck by the way. So you're currently running 20x10 -18 mm right?

Thanks man! Likewise lol...yup, I had rubbing issues at first but none whatsoever now with the body lift. The 10" wide wheel along with the -18 offset gives it a great stance and the tire sticks out a tad past the flares, which I love.

Just my opinion...do a 20x12 wheel, but see if you can find one with a -12, or 0 offset...not to far in or out!

No man!
He wants wide.....-24 would be the least, but -44 is what he wants. and if he gets to to work without rubbing it will be pretty sweet.

But how do we figure this out.

I mean, you got a 5" lift.
Im sure on a 6" lift with 35's it would work

I mean a 6" lift would give about 1" more clearance than I have! I think with that bit more of lift he should clear.

Sorry to jump in but I have to ask about the ride...did you lose the factory smooth ride when you went to a lift and 35's?

Oh no your fine man..not at all! Still rides like a stock truck, just higher and feels a tad slower just because of the 35's. But the ride quality is just like stock imo!

Nah, I was just mentioning 6" lift clears 37's and he is looking to do Bilsteins at 2.1 and 3" Body for a 5" lift.
I was just wondering if that 1" really made that big of a difference considering its 20x12 of 35's
