Default Offset help!

I plan buying a 4 Inch Rancho Lift Kit with RS9000XL adjustable shocks, I want 35x12.50x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers on 20 inch Fuel Hostages, Im having issues trying to figure out what offset is best for this set up. I want very little like an inch max if possible to stick out past the fenders. Any suggestions on what I should run with what offset it need. I want to buy the lift kit, tires and wheels monday, but the wheels offsets and what not are holding me back. Thank you.

Iirc a +20 on a 20x9/10 wheel will put you just slightly passed the fender

I agree with this. Just remember the higher the + number on offset the more the tire comes into the wheel well. The more - number the tire will stick out of the wheel well.


My stock wheel is +44 offset and my new wheels are +18 and it will stick out approx. 1" more then stock.

So +18 will stick out more than +20?

its hard to stuff a 35x12.50 inside your fenders. i thought the lift had a range for backspacing you should stay within. im considering a 4" myself and will most likely go with a +00 offset
