Default Please help w/ backspace & offset for a '15

I've got a '15 Lariat on order and I'd like to bring in the wheels, tires, and lift for when the truck arrives. I'll be going with the Boss Ultimate kit with Icon control arms. Tires will be 285/65r20 BFG KO2. I'd like to go with an aftermarket wheel (20x9) but can I please get some advice on the correct backspace and offset so that the tire comes out flush with fender? OR would a different backspace and offset look better? Thanks!

Between 14-35 offset on a 9 looks pretty flush, depends what offset choices you have with the wheel

I have 35 on the same tires, you can see pictures if you search for my other posts

Yep, stay around +20 and you'll be close to flush and should not rub

Thanks guys - wanted to throw something else at you if I could please get some more feedback. Looking at Dubs' truck his 285/60r20 sit perfectly in the wheel wells on the stock rims with the 1.5" wheel spacers. According to the 'will they fit' website a 20x9 would need a +12mm offset to pop out 39.4mm (1.512") which is equal to the same positioning as the stock 20x8.5 (44mm offset) with 1.5" spacer.

So that being said shouldn't I be looking for a 20x9 with +12 offset for a flush look (like Dubs')? Or am I calculating this wrong?

Thanks!

Pick your wheels first, your math may be right but if your wheels only come in a 20 offset, then what?
