Default 20x12 wheels

so i have been looking for days now to find pics and info on clearing a 20x12 wheel. i know most 20x12 rims are around -44mm offset. my question is can i clear a 33x13.50 or 12.50 with a level or will i need a body lift also? thanks.

Based on my limited knowledge, I would think that you would need more than only a leveling kit to clear those wheels, at least with that far out off-set. Maybe attempt a body lift first then add the leveling kit if you need it, because I would think the body lift would give you more clearance, and plus they are mainly designed to clear larger tires. Also, you could look into a 4" suspension lift kit, something taller than a leveling kti, but shorter than a large suspension lift kit. Some brands to search for, if you went that route, would be Rancho, or Skyjacker. Good luck on finding what you need, and make sure to post pictures when you get that setup on.

Why do you want that ridiculous offset? -12 is plenty aggressive for most. There was a member with a lincoln with a six inch lift and that offset of wheels. I thought it was ridiculous. I will see if I can find it.
I take it back, made a mistake, his are 14 inch wide with-76 offset. Here is the link, still not sure why you want that aggressive of an offset, but to each their own.

i am going for the bulldog look. i had found the pics with 14 inch wides but nothing with a 20x12 on 33s. i wish i could so i could see what it will look like before i spend the money. as far as a suspension lift. i would just go with 6" instead of 4" if i was gonna go that route since its just $100 difference but i don't want to go that route just yet. was trying to stay with a 33 since i only have 3.55 gears until i have the money to regear then i will go with suspension and larger tires. thanks for the input.

Once I get my lift on, I will tell you how my setup goes. I plan on running 20x12 wheels with 35s.

It will be sometime during March. Going to have everything order soon! Waiting on my tax return so I can grab my wheels.
