Default wheel offset

so it would seem that most people who level their truck to install 35x12.50x20 tires use wheels with +20 offset. Then some of these same people are using spacers to push the wheels and tires out further. why not just buy a different offset? what offset would sort that our in one move?

Only reason anyone should run spacers on their truck is if they want a more aggressive look on the stock wheels.

Ok so what offset would you suggest to move the tire out a bit so that one has the more aggressive look of a tire that sticks out of the well an inch or so? I'm quite sure I don't fully understand how offset works. Thx for your help

I think stock is somewhere around +44 (at least on my 2014).

I've got 20x9s with 34" BFGS and -12 offset. Couldn't be happier but wouldn't got too aggressive with out some flares to protect the side of your truck.

I'm going to put bfg ko2 285.60.20 tires with a 2.5 level in front and perhaps a 3" block in rear to keep a little of the rake look
Thx for your help

I have the same tire size on a 20 X 9" Rim and similar level height in a 4X4. I did a plus 20 which left me (average between the Front and Rear tire reveal at the tire bulge) 3/8" inset. So if you want to project beyond the OEM fender about an inch you would need a negative 12 offset. Same as Boswel, super aggressive, Zero would look cool too
