Default Rim size question.

Hey guys,

Got a 2011 Screw FX2 with a 2.5"level. I am looking for new rims and tires. From what I can tell through research is 305 55 20 is my best bet with tires. I think I have settled on the fuel octane wheels. I assume I should go 20x9 with those but what backspace? I would like it to stick out just a little from fender, maybe .5" to inch nothing crazy. I also would like to avoid any rubbing or cutting at all cost if possible. Thanks for the help guys.

Anyone that has any recs on where to buy for best price also chime in. Would like KO2's, Nitto RTs, or something that looks good and aggressive but not mt.

To get an exact comparison, input your current setup and your proposed setup into this configurator. http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

Recommend adding duratracs into your consideration regarding tires. Certainly would look into them and see if you like them. They're on sale for 20% off in canada at a few different chains

Do you know any chains off the top of your mind? The wife's Tahoe needs new Duratrac's and I'm thinking I can save a good chunk of change by getting them in Canada with the current exchange rate.

I have 20x9 Addict's and went with a +18mm offset. I'm unsure of my backspacing but with the tires I have the stick out about 1/2 inch or so from the wheel well.

Canadian tire specifically. I was there a week ago getting a quote on them! Plus Canadian tire is in every city so shouldn't have any issue finding one wherever you are!
