Default Need help with wheel offset +20?

My plat is due in 3 weeks. I intend to put 285.60.20 or roughly 35x12.50x20 bfg ko2's. I will use a level kit with a 2.5" block in front and a 1" block in the rear. I have read every possible post on this thread over the last two weeks to plan my build. There seem to be little detail about wheel offset.
Any help or experience greatly appreciated. Looking at black rhino rockwell wheels in matte black.
Second question if I really want a level stance do I need the 1" block in the rear?

If you're going with 35x12.50's, you'll want to stick with a conservative offset like +20 on a 9" rim like Langways setup in the thread below.

A 2.5" level might leave the back sitting a little low (some people like a slight bit of rake so you don't squat when you have a bit of weight in it). 2" might get it more level, but then you might have issues getting your wheels to fit (if you do the 35x12.50) .

Default Thanks

Sounds like you agree with 2.5" in front but I should add the 1" block in rear to stay level when loaded? Many thx

Either that, or do the 2" front only with 285/65/20 like dubsesd did at first, before his coilovers.

Even 2" front with a 3" block in the rear looks pretty good:

Default question

you say it would look good with the 3" in the back because there is already a 2" blocjk there and i am adding a 1" block? or are you suggesting putting a 3" block in the back??I'm guessing the former as the latter would only increase standard rake??

You never stack a 3" block with the factory block, you always remove it. The factory block is 1.5" if I recall. Technically, you shouldn't stack any blocks at all. Also, the advantage to the 3" block is that it's tapered to keep the same angle for the driveshaft.
