Default Your thoughts on this set up ?

Was looking at replacing tires as I am not a fan of street tires (stock) and then started looking at wheels .. found a set I liked but this offset thing confuses the heck out of me.

This is the set up ..
Ballistic Jester 6x135, 20x9 +12mm offset
33x12.5x20 MT

I dont want any rubbing or issues with fitment at all and dont want them to stick out to much ... am I heading down the right direction ??

Truck has a 2" HBS level here is a pic. Also what do you think is a fair asking price for the stock wheels and tires .. they have 300 miles on them.

I think our stock wheels are 8 in. wide, so with a 9 in. wide wheel and 12mm offset, they will set outside the fender about 1 in. How do I know this? I talked to the guys at Centerline Wheels yesterday, and the wheel that I liked was a 9 in. wide wheel with a 12mm offset. In terms of price, guessing $600-700. If the wheels are cast wheels, then they are not nearly as expensive as forged. Good luck.

So a 12mm offset will give me no issues on a 33x12.5 ?

I have always ran -offset wheels .. but on lifted trucks

I got the jesters for my silver plat, and I love them. They go on the truck Monday along with a 2.5"/3" Autospring kit. I ordered mine through sdwheelcorp. I'm dep,opted right now so I haven't seen them next to the truck in person but the pictures my wife has sent me, I couldn't be happier.

I like the Slides. The other looks more aggressive but I think the Slides look better. Dunno which tire would be better though. If they look roughly the same I might choose the ones with less drag / surface space.

Those wheels will fit good. They will only stick out 6mm further than your stock wheels. I may be biased but I like the looks of your stock 20's better than the Slides.
