My Hostages are on!!!...offset and clearance pics
Got my Fuel Hostage installed today! They are 20x9 with +20 offset. My tires are 275/65/20 Terra Grapplers. I have a 1" Daystar Budget Boost that raised the front close to 1 3/4". I still have a rake from back to front of about 1/2". Alot of research went into my decision and very happy with the outcome...exactly the stance I wanted. I know, like me, there are alot of members searching for a certain set-up and look so thought I would share mine with a few points. This setup moved the wheels and tires out in my estimation about 1 1/4" from stock. I often thought I should have gone wider than the 275's, and even though the wheels are only 1/2" wider, the offset makes the stance beefier to me. I have included some front and rear views as well as the front and back of the front wheel wells for reference. Its a bit tight in the wells but has not rubbed yet that I am aware. I am sure at a certain angle while offroad or large bump it might rub...but I am okay with that as there would be very minimal trimming. I am leaving as is for now and see how it goes.
Have a set of 2013 FX4 Running Boards in the garage and thinking about vinyl wrapping the bumpers Sterling Gray to get "chromeless", but not quite sure I am fully committed to that yet?
Sorry for the cell phone pics but it was raining when I got them on so took some quick pics:

They look good.
Your clearances look fine when the tires are straight, but what about when you turn them all the way in/out?
My tires looked the same when straight, but when I turned the wheel all the way is when I started to experience rubbing. In my case the front only rubbed when I was in reverse.
