Great Build Tuna, couldn't tell you how many times I've gone through it, definitely one of the best looking trucks I've ever seen!

It seems Smittybilt has a new model for their light bar. I just noticed that mine has little tabs for something ???. It doesn't look like yours has them

This is the best pic I can get right now

are you sure that your wheels are 20X10 with the -24 mm offset. they look more like the 20X8.5 with the positve offset. i was looking at getting some wheels and like the way yours look and wanted to get about the same offset as what you had and all the 20X10 with -24mm offset that i have seen stick out from the fender well pretty far. the wheels that i have are 20X9 with the 30mm offset and just over 6 in of backspacing. i dont want to get some more wheels if the ones that i have are going to set about the same as yours.

They're 20x10 5" of backspacing. That's what I ordered through the shop I bought it all from. Never measured it before the tires were mounted though. I would hope they didn't order different sized ones. I can measure the rims next time I'm outside and let you know.

I think that's just a gusset for strength.

sounds good and thanks for looking into it
my 9" rims measure in at almost 10" i think the measurment is supposed to be measure inside to inside of the rim lip. if you had your wheel off you could measure the back spacing. but dont take it off just to measure.

I understand offset (positive or negative) could someone elaborate on what back spacing is? Thanks

If you have a wheel and have it face down. Take a straight edge that will lay across each side of the rim. then take a tape measure and measure from the straight edge to the mounting surface of the wheel. this will give you the backspacing of the wheel.
