In some cases the manufacturer sets the price that all sellers have to advertise. Some places will sell cheaper if you contact them personally, to get around the advertised price. Customoffsets used to do this. So it may be worth a shot

To those members that have OEM wheels and tires that are both flush and/or stick out from the fenders some, could you please post a few pictures? I would like to see how it looks on a truck!

Thanks, I like your wheels. Is 295/60/20 = 35x12.5x20? Is there any specific reason you went with a 20x10 over the stock 20x9 and a -12mm offset?

no my tires are basically 34x11.8x20. I went with 10" wide and the offset i did so that the tire would stick out a little past my fender flares.



Not really sure!? Is there any benefit to staying close or moving away?

the further you push the tire out the more chance of rubbing without more lift so that is the benefit of staying close to stock or flush with fenders

answers are in red

Thank you. Would you mind posting a few pictures of your truck from the front and side? Is your truck lifted or level?

Right now, mine is leveled, and I plan on putting a 4"-6" lift. Would you recommend x10 and an offset for my truck?

do you plan on ever putting fender flares on?

try going to www.customoffsets.com and looking at their gallery. You can sort but vehicle, suspension setup, wheel size, tire size. You might then be able to get a feel for what kind of offset you want.

Very nice! I really like the look of them on your truck! :peace:

Yes, I am thinking about trying these OEM fender flares from fleabay that around $120.

I have been looking at the sites you post for the last hour! SOOO many wheels to choose from. I noticed the higher the negative offset, the "deeper" the wheel seemed. Does your "feel" deep?

Thank you

No i don't think my wheels "feel" deep. It's the 12" wheels with -44mm offset that to me start having that deep look/feel

I put the wheels on myself. They come mounted and balanced.

With those fender flares I would look at 20x10 wheels with -24mm offset and if you want 35's get 35x12.5x20

but.....you would need the 4 or 6 in lift first.....that setup will rub with just a level. How much rubbing will depend on how much you lifted the front.

With those flares and the -24 offset it would look like this

My flares are Tyger brand for a 2500 from amazon for about the same price. They are thick and built well.

Thank you! I will pick these ones up instead of the ones off of eBay since you have them and you said that they're good.

Are they hard to install?
