Default Pics of 20x9 -12 offset?

I've got a line on a nice set of (used) Fuel wheels 20x9 -12 wrapped with 305/55R20 Cooper Zeons at a really good price.

I have a 2.5" level and the rear is 1/4" higher than the front. However, I'm thinking that the -12 offset is going to be ridiculous (yes, I know I'd have to trim some up front).

The seller sent me a couple pics (he no longer has the truck, so he can't take more), but nothing that helps me judge just exactly how far these might be.

Anybody have any front to rear (or rear to front) pics of this size on an 09-14?

Thanks in advance

I have some Fuel Vapor (in the 20X9 +20mm flavor) that I'm going to mount today. The factory offset is +44mm. The +20mm's will stick out about 1.25" from factory. If you have the factory 20's now, those wheels are 8.5" wide. -12mm will be like why out there. Worse case, pop one on and see.

If you have the stock 265/70/17 tires, the side wall of the new tire will stick out approximately 3" farther to the curb.

With the stock XLT 5 spoke 17" x 7.5" wheels, the rim lip on the -12mm offset rims will stick out 3" more to the curb than the stockers.

I can't - they are ~150 miles away and I'm not going to make the drive unless I know I'm going to make the purchase. Thanks.

Yea, but one person's definition of aggressive is another person's HORRID. That's why I was hoping to see some a few of those 1,000 people post a pic or two! But thank you.

I purchased this truck used and along the way, someone swapped out the 17" stockers for 18" stockers from the same year (see below):


I'm fairly confident they are still 7.5" wide with the same +44 offset.

Three full inches? +44 to -12 is 66mm. That's 2.59". Or did/does something ELSE with the wheel change when the offset changes, too?

What is the current tire size on the truck?

My post did specify for stock, 265/70/17 tires.

Depending on the width of the tire, the sidewall push out may change. However, the outside rim of the -12mm offset 9" wide will still push out 3" more than the current 44mm offset, 7.5" wide rims.

Try it for yourself:

These are -12 in an 18x9 but that won't make any difference compared to 20's as far as how much they stick out, I will have more tire sidewall and less wheel when viewed from the side.

Sorry. 265/70/17 is stock and 265/70/18 on 18x7.5 now. I'm assuming the (replacement) 18" OEM wheels that are on there (in the pic) are 7.5" wide (per info I found online), as I have not checked them.

Depending on the width of the tire, the sidewall push out may change. However, the outside rim of the -12mm offset 9" wide will still push out 3" more than the current 44mm offset, 7.5" wide rims.

Thanks. And ... I was forgetting about the additional width of the new wheel, yes ... LOL.

Thx for the pics. Do you find them louder (due to positioning outside of the wheel well) and do you have any issues with debris beating up the body behind the tires?
