Default Pocket Style Flares with OEM 20" wheels

What I am looking at getting is Nitto 275/65-R20 Terra's and I wanted to see how they would look on the OEM 20" chrome wheels. I am hoping they stick out a little along with the fender flares I am installing later.

Does anyone have any pictures close to what I am looking for?

I know buying wheels with offsets with help with this but I wanted to see how it would look with OEM wheels.


Side note- can i add spacers to make the tire stick out further?

Thanks

You will def need spacers to get the look you want.

Figured as much. This should get interesting then. I wonder if I would be better off just getting aftermarket wheels with like a +12 offset...

That would be your best option but there was a guy who ran spacers on his stock 20's with no issues. I'll see if I can find his thread.

i dont like the idea of spacers as it puts extra stress on your front end components, but they will work. i have the pocket flares and crazy offset rims and it looks just right , ive seen lots of trucks ( ford, dodge chevy) that have flares with stock rims and they look weird, but to each their own

Now I just have to decide if I get R20's and get offset wheels later or get R18s with a new set of offset wheels.

I know the disadvantages of having a 20" wheel for offroading but I like the it gives and I don't hardcore offroad anyways.

Anyone know of any good deals?

Also keep the pictures coming, this is helping out a ton.

Thanks

What offset wheel did you need to get to compensate for the Bushwackers? Want to put these on my 13' Screw but want to make sure I get the right offset. Thanks.
