I'm currently in Poland but when I get back I wanted to go to this setup. I have the nittos on my stock wheels but 33's on 17's are just to small. So I decided to go with these 35's on 20x12's. However, I just wanted to know of running. Wheel with this width and offset would cause any problems for my truck. Thanks in advance guys

Bump. Need to know of any cons to this before I make what could be a bad decision by purchasing these wheels.

Most people with that rim/tire combo have 6" lifts. Otherwise it will take some serious trimming to make them fit.

You absolutely need atleast a 6" lift....or a level with a 3" body lift should work too. Don't quote me on the second part but you definitely can't run that setup on just a level kit.

But I see you are asking about pros/cons....cons would be ball joints and your hubs getting more than average wear and tear. You might find yourself replacing those items quicker with more stress being put on them. It's not like you will be changing them out even 5,000 miles though. You will be fine and there are people running those same size rims.

Thanks guys. So would a 10 wide be better? My level is 2.5 up front and it comes with 1 inch for the rear and it comes with shocks as well. I thought it would be okay because my dad is running 22's and 35's on a 2 inch level. Pic:

also could you enlighten me a little more on what you know about the wear on ball joints and hubs? Thanks

Looks like he's running +18mm offset rims which only stick out about 1" more than stock.
It's not the tire size that would be your issue, it's the -44mm offset rims. They would stick out nearly 3.5" more than the stock (+44mm) rims and that's where the rubbing would come from.

It's more about moving weight further away from the middle of the truck. So now, certain suspension parts are taking on more of a load at a different angle. I haven't had any personal experience as I have never ran a wheel with that much offset but have read online where some people have. They also could have had things installed wrong too but I remember reading an article on fourwheeler.com about this topic. You might be able to find out more there.

Again, you prolly won't do much damage or notice a difference if the vehicle is driven on tar roads but if it's wheeled and driven hard like a sports car, then these issues may surface quicker and be more apparent.
