Need help picking Offset please
I am buying a set of 305/50/20 Cooper Zeon LTZ mounted on a set of 20x9 Incubus Krawlers. They are going on my 2011 F150 4x4 supercrew and I'm planning on using the Bilstein 5100's at their lowest adjustment of 1.5" to level the front. I have the option of getting a -12mm offset or a +12mm offset. I want the rims to be somewhat deep and have a lip and maybe have the tires stick out just a little but don't want it to cause any rubbing issues. Can anyone please help me make the right decision on the offset that would work out the best for me? Pictures would be awesome too! Thanks

-12 is basically 4.5" of backspace on a 9" wheel. You should be ok with a 32" tire or you can go with 5.5" of BS and run 33's w/ a level. You should also probably post this in the tire/wheel section. Good luck.

+12. The -12 is more for lifted applications. The tires will stick out about an inch with the +12. It will look good.

I'm just learning about offset, so don't take my numbers as fact, but this is how I understand it.
Assuming that you have the stock 20 wheels with the +44 offset, the new 20x9 wheels with +12 offset will stick out 1.5" more than the stock rim. -12 offset will stick out nearly 2.5" farther than stock. Also, remember that you are adding either 1.5" or 2.5" to the outside, but taking about 1" or 2" on the inside (depending on which offset you choose), giving you a much wider stance.
