Default Help with rims

Well got new tires 305/55/20 tried mounting them on stock 20s with a 2 inch level kit installed and there rubbing on the control arm . So now I'm going to get new rims for the truck. not sure which ones to get and the corret back space I need along with off set. Picture of your wheels might give me some ideas. Thanks

What kind of tires are you running because there are a ton of people on here running the same combo without any rubbing issues, some without a level even?

nice....dicks? lol those are sick tires tho honestly. that's what i wanted originally but went with the nittos for a better price. get a wheel with a 0 or -offset that should keep it clear of the control arm. but then you also have to watch for rubbing of the fender wells. i had to do some cutting with my 325/60/18s cause they were at a -12 offset and rubbing hardcore against the back of the front fender wells.

The factory 20's are about a +40 to +44 offset, and if I were you with just the level, I'd go with +18 to +30offset wheels. They will stick out a little but not too bad... If you wanna go with -12 to +18 then you may wanna run fender flares.

But around a +30 would be your best bet... that would give you an extra 5/8" or so extra between the control arm and the tire now.

or if your close to fitting try a 3/8" wheel spacer, but I wouldn't go any bigger than max 1/2" on factory studs.

Hope this helps
