Disregard my comment about your specs. I forgot that wheel width is measured to the inside of the flange and you add 1/2 inches of flange to get the backspace.

The numbers I got for the offset and backspacing is right from BMF which is the company that makes the rims.

I realized my mistake. What are the specs for your existing wheels? Rim size and backspace and tire size? Compare your new setup to this to determine how much further the wheel will stick out.

Wheel height is a different story. The stickie is pretty accurate. My research found that 35" tires have minor rubbing issues and 33" tires have no issues. I am going with a 34.2" x 11.7" tire. Rubbing or not is TBD.

So what would you guys recommend for tire size with the Nitto Trail Grapplers with my Rim specs being 20x9, 0 Offset and 5" Backspacing? I am going to get 33" tires.
