Default Wheel question

Nobody has given me an answer on the Tire and Wheel fitment thread so I decided to make my own. With a 6" RCX Lift, would I be able to run a 20x12 wheel that has a -44 offset and a 4.75 BS on a 35x12.50 tire? I know that not many people would be a fan of this look, but to each there own. Thanks in advance!

I think it is going to depend a lot on what kind of tire at this point if you are set on those wheels. If you look at Toyo or Nitto, they are a lot wider than most other 12.5s. I have a 6" procomp and my wheels are 17x9 w/-12mm and then I put in 2 inch spacers which gave me about an offset of -60 and even my 33x12.00's did some serious scrubbing. Obviously it was way worse off road, and I only had minor problems on pavement. So if you are just going to be on pavement, I say go for it, but they will probably still scrub.

the more the rims stick in, the more tire you can run, the more they stick out, the less tire you can run. i couldn't say that it wouldn't work,but you'll never know till you try it,i think you should be fine.but you might have to trim the valance/back plastic

I saw a guy on youtube that was running that setup with some mud grapplers and I know those are pretty meaty tires. Not sure if he gets any sort of rubbing though.
