Default Aftermarket wheel offset question

Guys I know this has been brought up over and over.....I've done the research, asked questions, and am still lost in the sauce if you will......

I have a 2011 SuperCrew Lariat Ecoboost 4wd, with leveling kit and currently 305/55/r20 Hankook tires on factory OEM 20's....


I'm wanting to upgrade to aftermarket wheels, and I want the tire to stick out a bit.

I'm looking into getting the Helo HE866, 20x8.5 rims. They are offered in a +10mm offset and a +35 offset.....

Which offset do I need to get to 1) stick outside of the fender wells 2) not rub my upper ball joint

Needs some help, Thanks guys!

The +10, its going to move the wheel further out making the tires stick out and away from the uca. Just a fyi the stock 20 inch rims are 20x8.5 with a +44 backspace so on the new +10 it will be about 1.5 inches further away from the uca. The + 35 will only be less then half an inch wider

lower the number the more they will stick out.. find a wheel with a negative offset if you want them to stick out.

22x10 // -13 offset // 4.5"BS

Man, that's a good looking truck. I don't think I want them that wide though.

Went to the tire shop this morning......I'm probably gonna order the 20x8.5, +10mm offset wheels. But I can get the 22x9, +10MM offset for $100 more......but I would have to have new tires. And with 22" rims, and AT or MT tires, I would have to get a 35" tire in the tire that I want........and I dont think I can run a 325/45/22 without rubbing.......
