For a 12.50 you will want a 10 wide rim at least.

Look in my vendor room I have a sale on rims. Hit me up with what ya like and I will price ya.

17 tires are cheaper than 20's and prolly ride nicer.

I'll answer that one. It depends on your suspension, amount of air in the tires, and how big the tires are. You can have the nicest wheel and tire set up, but of you have a **** suspension, then you're gonna feel every imperfection on the road. My truck rides good, I just want something different.

I have 17's

i was lookin at these on day and noticed they have 2 different ones. a positive offset and a negative one. a negative will push the wheel out of the wheel well however i cant tell you how much. might wanna call discount tire. anytime i had questions i talked to them and usually got the answer i needed . just noticed your truck is an 07 so the negative offset might not be available for your yr.

the offset and width of the wheel will determine how much they stick out.

here are mine. 35/12.50/17 10inch wide with a 4.53 backspace. took my stock 20's off. rides better, handles worse. truck just leveled in the front. you will get a slight rub at full turn when you hit even the smallest bump. now that they are half wore, they donnt rub at all.

I been looking all day at rims, but does anyone run the stock rims with 12.5? if so, do they rub or will i need to get a spacer? and if I need a spacer will it be fine to run spacers on all the wheels so they stick out evenly

You would need a 1/4" spacer to run 12.5 and even then there's is a slight chance that you would have rubbing
