This was when I was leveled on -12 offset 20s and 35s
What tire size were you running with those 20's?

Btw... I'm pretty sure your truck is my favorite one on the forum..your build thread is awesome

Those are 35x12.50s. I had same wheels in +12 and they stuck out but not enough for me. [MENTION=120634]DavidSchlot822[/MENTION] did it perfect with those things with a level.

They are 35X12.50R20s, and I had to trim a LOT. 33s would have been enough but the 35s were already mounted so we trimmed until they cleared.

I appreciate it man.

I keep teetering between 18's and 20's.... I would love to be able to use my stock tires and just get some new rims, but I don't want to spend the money and then not like how it looks... you know what I mean? I plan to put a level on the truck also. I do so much driving and none of it is off road, so there is no way I can justify badass mud** tires.. haha

I hate the look of my trucks with stock tires, that's how I justify it. Heck...I run 35" Boggers on my Bronco

I am running 18" XD Addicts that are +18 with 275/70/18 Toyo AT2's on a 2" level. I dont have a straight shot down the side but you can see how they look in this pic. I would say that the +18 would look better with the stock tires.

You can always run an aggressive AT like the Toyo Open Country AT2 or Falken Rocky Mountain (I only suggest these because I had them and loved them)

I just don't think I can justify the noise and loss in mpgs, I put about 18k miles on my truck a year, I live too damn far from work... haha.
Have you had any experience with Mr.Wheel Deal?

I am in between the Toyo AT2s and Cooper STTs myself. The STTs concern me regarding those mpg/noise/wear, but reviews seem to say they're actually pretty good for an MT. That aggressive tread is hard to turn away!

But on the other hand, the AT2s are well reviewed also and look good for ATs. I know the Goodyear Duratracs are another favorite, but I don't like the look of them too much and they cost more or don't have exact sizes I am interested in.

I am running 20x10 Fuel Hostages -12mm offset with 35x12.50 Toyo M/T's. Love the stance. Tires stick out about 2 in. from the fender. Had to trim a little because of rubbing with a 4" Fabtech lift
