which back space should I go with on this XD wheel

loanman1911 · 01-06-2009, 01:44 AM

I am getting ready to put on a 6 inch lift on my 06 mega and I have decided on the XD Monster wheel. I can't decide which size wheel to choose. I am putting on 35x12.5 toyo muds. Here are my choices:

20x9 with +18 offset equals 5.71 back space OR

20x10 with -12 offset =5.03 back space.

I do not want the tires to stick out too far but I also do not want the truck to look like a roller skate.

Please help me decide. thank you in advance. if anyone has either one of these exact wheels please post a pic. thanks

I would go with -12 or -24 if I were you/ The trucks more stable in the air and gives it a meaner pitbull type stance. JMO

If you want too put bigger tires on in the future use the 5.71 backspaced wheels, if you want to have the tough look use the other offset. You could possibly rub if you go bigger whith those wheels.

6 inch lift with high offsret wheels equals larger tires. 37"? That would be a good choice.

Nevermind, there isnt -24 offset in Monsters, I thought I read Diesel.

I would still get the wider -12 offset. JMO

the more offset you have the less chance of rubbing the arms at full turn
