Default 0 offset wheels.

I currently run 35x12.5r20 on my 2013 fx4 I'm using stock wheels with a 2.5 level. Now I'm looking at getting ballistic jester 814 wheels 20x9 with a 0 offset. Will the 0 offset be enough to prevent further rubbing my stock rims give me?

I didn't even know they made 0 offset ones. I have +12 and rubbed with same size tires but I did some minor trimming and have no problems now

You definitely want to stick with a positive offset wheel. The 0 and negative offset wheels push your tires out more therefore creating more rubbing issues.

Your stock wheels are I believe like a +44 I may be wrong about that though. A positive 12 offset wheel like mikey, above, is running would be your best bet. May have to trim a little but not near as much as you will have to with a 0 offset

^ This. The farther negative you go the worse you'll have to trim/rub.

I may be wrong but DavidSchlot was doing the -12 Jesters and 35s and trimmed not too heavily with just a level and was fine.

Default 315 70 17

Hey guys newbie here.. 1st post.
I have a 2013 xlt xtr. I sold my factory upgraded 20s. I ordered a 2.5 rough country front leveling kit and a 2.5 rear add a leaf to raise the whole truck. I want to put Xd801 crank chrome 17x9 0 offset with 5" back spacing along with 315 70 17 good year duratrac (would love mud but I live in Toronto and see long winters). Do you think I will have issues with rubbing? Thx

most 12.50 tires are 13 plus wide...that's why your rubbing the UCA...you need less backspaceing or a spacer...

Minor most likely. I have same setup but -12 and it rubbed but not too bad. Little trimming and it was good to go
