My future wheel & tire combo (20") need your expert advice/opinion?

VNT · 07-19-2009, 10:03 PM

My truck: Check Sig.
Lift Kit: Fabtech 4.5" w/5100 Series Shocks.
Wheels: 20x9
Tire Size: 315/60/20 or 35x12.50x20
Tire Brand: DC FC2

My question:
What offset and backspacing should I go with, I want the wheels and tires to stick out about 1.5-2" but w/o any rubbing.

My options:
1. +30mm offset and 6.18 backspacing
2. -12mm offset and 4.53 backspacing
3. +18mm offset and 5.71 backspacing

Expert opinions and comments? Thank you for your help!!

Your best bet would be to find a wheel with about 5" of BS. That's what I have and they fit nicely and rub just a little on the plastic fender liner.

Thats the best front photo i got. if you want another i'll have to take some more. I haven't measured how far they stick out but they do stick out a lil bit. They just barely rubbed the Plastic on the front air dam at full lock. The revtek Kit rides excellent, very impressed and easy install.

Go with # 3, +18mm! You will have 0 rub.

Go with #2 4.53" BS. It will look better in a lifted truck and you will not rub with 35's on 4.5" lift with 20x9s.
