Default noob question

Sooo I've only had my truck for a few months and I've been wondering I always see trucks with the wheels kinda sticking out from the body of the truck. How do people do that and what do I need to install to get my truck to do that?

wheel spacers will give you that stance, or a negative offset from an aftermarket wheel will do that as well.

Negative offset puts where the wheel bolts to the hub, deeper in the well of the rim. Meaning the overall wheel sticks out farther. This will get your wheel outside of the wheel well itself, giving the look you're thinking of.

The positive offset in the photo would be the face of the rim is nearly flush with the outside edge of the whole rim. So the overall wheel is more over the hub, put the tire deeper into the wheel well.
