Default Offset Help





So I currently have BFG KO2s in 275/60r20s on my truck. Stock wheels which I am told are 20x8.5 +44 offset. I'd like a little more aggressive look so would you guys recommend +18 or 0 offset in my new wheels (Fuel Pump 20x9)? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Im running a 20x10 with a -25 offset wrapped in 33x12.5r20 and they stick out past my stock flaires. You will need a 2.5 in leveling kit and still hsve to trim so plastic.

I've got a 2.5" leveling kit on it already. My tires are 2" skinnier than yours (10.8"). I dont want to go out much further than I already am which is why I'm not looking to go negative with the offset.

I got this email back when asking between 18 and 0 offset. Can someone translate it for me?

"Hello,

The 20x9 0 rim should sit out around 1.37" or so wider than 8.5" wide factory wheels.

The 20x9 +18 rim should sit out around 0.66" or so wider than 8.5" wide factory wheels.

The measurement we provided is relative to your stock rims. This does not take into consideration the thickness of the tires.
If you measure from the edge of your stock wheels, you should be able to determine where they sit compared to your current fenders.

Adding thicker tires should increase the stance especially when the tire is wider than the rim."

I'd go with zero offset. I currently am running the stock wheels with a 1.5" spacer, so that is around a +9 offset. If I had to choose to go slightly more negative or positive, I'd go negative. Zero would look the best IMO.
