Hey guys, this last week due to the used car market being so hot I sold my other vehicle and now I have some extra cash to spend on my truck YAY! That said I ordered a set of wheels and tires and just had a question for you guys. I ordered a set of 18x9 Anthracite Fuel Rebels in +20 offset. I know the 18 inch factory sport wheels I have now are +44 offset. The best I can figure that means these new wheels will poke out about 1 inch more than the factory ones. The website I ordered from said "aggressive fitment, lift or fender trimming might be required" but I am hoping they will fit OK with such minimal extra poke. I stayed with the factory size (275 65 18) as I was not looking for any extra lift and wanted to keep the driving dynamics and speedo the same. I have Bilstein 5100's set on factory height. What say all you gurus, will I have issues? I am not above stretching the crash bars a little if I need to. My truck is a road warrior and vary rarely ever venture off road.

 

You shouldnt need any modifications with that set up.

 

You'll be just fine and probably should've gone with a 275/70-18

 

I also have +20 offset (vs. factory +44) on a 9-inch wide wheel and it's basically flush at this point using 285 wide tires.

 

Thank you, that tells me pretty much what I need to know. I was hoping for a little more flush look but not have to mess with any lift or leveling. I did level mine but I removed the rear block rather than raise the front.

 

That's what I am hoping for. They should be here end of next week I hope to get them installed over the holiday weekend..

 

285 tires on +25, not even close to rubbing anything, could have run 305's

 

Same boat. I did a 'reverse level' by removing the rear block.

What it looks like with:
- 285/55R20
- 20x9 +25 offset
- Stock front suspension
- Rear blocks removed

 

that looks really good. I get in my truck bed multiple times a day so it being a little lower in the back works for me.

 

Highly recommend the Amp Bed step - its a knee saver

It doesn't look bad on the back of the truck either. I will take picture in a few
