Default Ordered rims and tires

So as the title says I finally ordered some new rims and tires. Ordered them about 3 weeks ago and they are due to arrive any day now, they got slowed down with a strike at the L.A shipping port. Anyway I ordered the fuel offroad maverick wheels

20x9 with a +20mm offset and I got a pretty good deal going with the fuel mud gripper tire

The tire specs according to the website is a 33" x 12.7 x 20 tire. I am going for the look of the tire hopefully sticking out about an inch past the fenders. Any idea of how much it should stick out?

And I will post some pics when they are finally on.

I have the +20mm offset fuel wheels. They very outer edge of the tire is about an inch off so you should be good.

Awesome, I am glad to hear that about the +20 offset. I still might put 1/4" spacers on but I will see what they look like first. I couldn't find any reviews at all on the fuel tires, as they are fairly new to the market. I found out they are made by a tire company called tri-ace, but there were some people saying they are made by the same company as toyo, so there is a little confusion there. Does the tire width have an effect on how much they will stick out as well? The 12.7" wide tire has me kind of wondering about that

I hope so! For the past 6 months or so I have been wanting to get some rims but I always changed my mind after a couple of weeks on what rim I liked. I finally decided on the black and milled mavericks, i am hoping it will go good with the white and a little chrome on the truck. So I am pretty excited for them to come, apparently will be within the next week or so. I am also hoping to find a Oxford white grille surround but I am not having any luck so far.
