Default Need Some Help Deciding

Can you guys help me out? I have literally read through thousands of pages trying to make up my mind.


I have a 2007 SCREW Lariat Black with the Chrome Package and the dreaded 6-1/2' Bed. I am putting a 6" Suspension Lift on next week. I was set with the following.


35 x 12.50 R20 Toyo Open Country M/T
20 x 10 BMF Novakane -19 Offset


Heres my problem... I cant find the 10" wheels anywhere, they are on national backorder. Same issue with the Tires however I may be able to find them it just would be easier to order as a package to have them mounted and balanced with the TPMS installed.


Do you guys think the 20x9 with +0 Offset would look okay or would the truck be tall and skinny. Any advice would be great. Pics would be eve better.


About the Tires.... Seems like everywhere has the NITTO Trail Grapplers. thoughts???


Thanks so much! I cant wait to get the before and after pics up.

Nobody wants to touch this one??? I've tried everywhere I can not get the 20x10 -19 offset. The 20x9 -0 is available. Can anyone tell me what you think

How at will they stick out? Will it look okay or should I just go with a different wheel.

I looked at the wheel guide I'm more looking for personal preferences and how the 9" wheel looks.


Thanks

X2! If I were to go and get a SCREW I would want the 6.5' bed.... I can't help you out on the wheel issue but the Nittos are a very popular tire. The Terra Grappler is going to be the most comparable to the Toyos since they are MTs

The Trail Grappler is comparable to the Open Country M/t, not the Terra Grappler which is an A/T. If you want a wide stance a 20x9 with 0 offset is not what you are looking for. If the wheel is available as a 20x9 with -12 or -18 then you can do that or a 20x10 with -24, the last would make the stance pretty wide and aggressive.

I stand corrected, KCCOFox thanks for catching my typo! The Trail Grappler is a MT, sorry.

Just got off the phone with custom offset and they don't have them either. Im guessing I'm going to have to go to a different wheel. BMF can't even give an estimated date when they will be available. Anyone have any suggestions?
