Default What off set?

Well I just went through the pain of installing a rough country 6" lift on my 04 screw and now I have a tire issue. Im running 305 55 r20's and my offset is not enough! The tires rub on the new drop knuckle. I see all you guys running 35's, so what offset are you running and what wheel width? And yes I read the wheel fitment guide. Please help me out here, Im in one hell of a bind!

I got some 35 in toyos on 20x10 rockstars with a -24 offset and they stick out a lot I think most people run a 9 in or 10 wide wheel with a -12 with just a 6 in. hope that helps

I would go with -6 or -12 offset. Just my opinion( mine are -6 offset on a level) and they stick out far

Check your lifts specifications. They usually require a specific backspacing. Some 6 inch lifts are 4.5 inch backspacing required. Should be able to get the info from their website.
