Hi all, I just purchased a set of fender flares, the riveted look type and as expected the look fairly bulky. I currently have stock 20” wheels, with no additional offset, so I ether going to get spacers, or buy new wheels and if I do which offset should I do for it to look with fender flares? If anyone has pics of their trucks with flares and offsetted wheels please post and let me know which offset it is.
Thanks.

A +12 offset would have worked as well.

Is your truck a 1500?
My old set of wheels were 18x9 +1 offset/ 35x12.5 Nitto’s, ended up needing 1” spacers, tires hitting uca’s at full lock.
My current set is 17x9” with a -12 offset/ 35x12.5 MT’s & have no rubs, no spacers.
My tires sit right a the edge of the flares.

This is the exact look I'm going for on my 2015 2500. Did you lift, or just level? Did you have to do any trimming to prevent rubbing? Thanks!

No trimming was needed with that tire size, wheel offset and a 2.5" level kit.
