Default Help me with wheel offset....

Im looking to get 20x9 Fuel Mavericks. Im trying to decide on the offset but I'm not sure on exactly how it works. I have read some threads on it but still not sure what to go with. They offer a +1 +14 and +20. Im going to be running a 305/55/20 tire as I'm reading that matters. I would like the tires to stick out a little bit to have that stance but not a ton. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone has any photos of theres would be helpful.

Thanks!!!

Go with the +14. Not sure but with that wide of tires on +20 might rub? Maybe?

are you going to level? If so I would go with +1. google F150 with 20x9 0 offset to see what it would look like, well....minus 1 mm

I have method double standard 18x9's with +18 offset. Tires are 275/70R18's and they are prefectly flush with that setup.

What width 20" wheel are you looking at? Assuming they are also 9" wide, then I think it would work like this: you have to add half the additional width of your tire. I believe the total width is 0.8" wider than mine, so it will stick out 0.4" further. Then take the additional offset. +14 you would stick out 4mm(0.16") more than mine and +1 would stick out 17mm(0.67") more.

So, roughly, I would think the +14 would stick out 0.56" and the +1 would stick out 1.07" from flush.

I went with the +1. It looks great. Only problem is it rubs slightly on the front crash bars which I plan to remedy by tweaking them slightly with a porta power as soon as I get my hands on one. If you want to avoid this get the +14. I think +20 would suck them in too far. Tires are 33x12.5-20 Toyo Open Country M/T.
