I wanted a little taller and slightly skinnier than the usual 35x12.50s. If you're going to level, I'd prob go with the 295/60/20s which would be 34.45x12.13. With the +1mm offset, they do stick out a bit. I'll try to find my pictures of how much they stick out that I posted for someone else a while back. Your old setup does look like -12mm offset bc they stick out just a little more than mine do. Here's one, but I know I have more:
Ya I got my old set basically brand new off craigslist and the guy didn't know the offset so I always just assumed. Awesome Thanks!

Those actually stick out almost as much as my rockstars. I always thought negative offset is when they stick out not positive?

sorry this app is going messed up on my phone. 305/55/20 would be wider and not as tall as the 295/60/20 correct? Sorry noob question lol

The 305s are 33.39X12.60 according to Nitto. The more negative the offset, the more they stick out. Here is a GREAT site to help you with figuring out the differences between 2 different set ups. http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp
The only thing you have to consider is that it calculates the tire sizes, but every manufacturer is a little different, so look up your specific tire's specs. But that link will at least help you see the differences

I've seen fully painted tow mirrors on Super Duties and it looks horrible IMO, really gaudy. obviously it's your truck and you can do what you like, but I'm not a fan of the painted mirrors.

ya I'm not 100% if I would do it, might look better black with black rims or maybe even just paint the top half like on the factory mirrors.

Ya, that's what I thought but when you said +1 it kind of threw me off. I thought 0 offset would be like stock. I'll check out tht website and I'll probably just go with what you said because it looks great, if anything I'll get them with a little more negative offset

looks awesome think i have made my decision on the mavericks As far the wheel set up I think i might stick to what I had previously had. I like that the 305/55/20's are wider and with that offset it makes it look mean how i like it! ...Also did you paint your badges black?

Sounds like you've about got it figured out.

Yeah I did my badges and grille in matte black (well, plastidip for now) to match the wheels better.

well i thought I did but now I'm second guessing myself with weather to get the 295/60/20s. I like the fact that it will make the truck sit higher, but i just wish they were wider.
