Negative offset rims and towing

[Crazyro]

Thank you for the feedback on running larger wheels/tires. Is anyone running negative offset rims? I have fender flares and would like to get some wheels that would line up a little better with those. How much is too much on offset? Spacers I'm thinking I would want to stay away from, though the hub centric ones would probably work better. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

To barely clear 35x12.5 tires, I'm running 0mm offset 17x9s. The stock 20's are -19mm offset. I have about half an inch of clearance between my wider tires and the upper control arm.

Wouldn't the stock 20's be +19mm (or more) offset?

YES! That's a perfect setup. Are you towing? If yes, has it been affected any?

The only time I drive the truck is when I’m towing or hauling something. Usually towing way over what it’s rated at too lol. The only negative is the added weight/rotating mass. 10 ply 35s are really heavy. So it takes a little bit of power from the truck. But I still pull whatever I need to, it’s no race truck but it does it fine.

That's great to know. I'll have to look into it. Thank you sir!
