20x9 American Racing Ribelle Black w/ Polished Accents

The only down side to them so far is that they are a +20 offset, which makes them flush with the fender flares, but makes it impossible to put a 12.5" wide tire on them. I've got 285/65r20 on them right now and there is only about .5" between the sidewall of the tire and the control arm. If I want to go 35x12.50r20 I'd probably have to get 2.5" spacers, and at $680 for proper spacers I'd rather just buy new wheels for a bit more that had the correct offset.

They look great and they've held up really well though.

They look sweet. Are you running a leveling kit?

2" front level. It sits about .5" lower than the front, but it's barely noticeable. Truck levels out nicely with a large load of firewood or lumber in the back which I do semi regularly and keeps me from blinding people etc.

I know the price difference and install requirements. Just need to see pros and cons of suspension lift VS body lift. Also want to stay with 17's i believe with 35's. Would like to "space" them out a little bit without using those POS wheel spacers. Is that were the offset comes into play? Thanks!
here's mine sitting on a 4 inch body lift with 35s
