Crappy photo taken at a stop light zoomed in.. but this is the stance I want on my 2015. What will get me there? Spacers with new tires? New wheels with a certain offset/backspacing? I have an XLT chrome package with the 18" wheels.



I would be ok with a leveling kit to get me there but I don't want any rubbing, trimming or modifying other than tires, spacers or wheels. Is that possible and what will I need to achieve it..?

Thats my style truck and that looks like a 0 offset rim or a 1.5-2 inch wheel spacer would work too.

I was thinking 0 stuck out a bit further, but i could be wrong. Basically even with the factory running boards. My tires are pretty much 34x12, had to trim a little and it'll still rub under some circumstances. Probably 90% of the time it'll clear for me, thinking the width is more the issue than height.

You can't talk about tire/wheel protrusion from the wheel well only talking about offset. Wider wheels will make as much of a difference as an offset.

Fair enough, I was just being simplistic I guess. Factory 18s are what, +44 and 7.5" wide?
My 18s are +0 and 9" wide, just for reference.

I'm not trying to make things more confusing, but if someone is concerned about the outside of the wheel, I like the word frontspacing. Backspacing tells you where the inner side of the wheel is, might as well do the math to find the outside surface.

On a stock 7.5" wide rim, +44 offset, the front spacing is 2.5".
On a 9" wide rim, 0 offset, front spacing is 5".

So Ddh1 your rims outside face is 2.5" further out than the stock 7.5 wide rim. A 2.5" spacer would put the stocker out there, but you wouldn't be able to get near as wide of a tire.
