aftermarket wheels & Offsets
I am curoius with anyone that is running new wheels what offset do you have.
Factory offset is +40 and curious to see if anyone has pictures or comments of how far tire is outside of fender with zero offset. The wheels I am looking for are going to be around a +20 but finding difficulty with availibility once I visit the local Les Schwabb and have them check what I am looking for. The mfg will show the size I want on their website but once the dealer looks it up they will say not available.My main thought is to keep the tire under the fender as much as possible. Thanks for any help or comments.

This seems to be a source of confusion for me as well. It is my understanding that if I use 20x9 wheels I can install 35" Trail Grapplers that are 12.5 wide. "most of what I think" I can expect think is a 0 offset wheel correct? I want to toughen this truck up a bit but I am certain I don't want to kick up stones on my paint.

A quick approximation to get you from offset to backspacing is: ((Wheel Width + 1") / 2) + Offset.
So for a 20x8" factory wheel with a 40mm offset (inset = positive offset):
((8" + 1") / 2) + 1.57" (40mm) = 6.07" backspacing.
So for a 20x8.5" American Racing wheel with a 18mm offset (inset = positive offset):
((8.5" + 1") / 2) + 0.709" (18mm) = 5.46" backspacing.

Not to bust your chops Andre but your wheels are -12 offset 20x9.
+18 20x9 wouldn't stick out past the fenders, it would be close to even with the fenders.
I just wanted everyone to have the most accurate info to make a decision with.

He's right folks...I was typing too fast and just saw the opposite measurement on the XD web page. Sorry for the misinformation

I had mine adjust by the dealer. I don't remember what I had to them adjusted to, but I think it's 50 psf. I usually run 65psf in them.

I haven't noticed any new chips though with the trail grapplers. All the chips I got were with the A/T tires I had before. I have amp steps too so the paint is fully exposed and still no problems in 7500 miles.

I'm all for comfy ride, and I did have my dealer change the TPMS to 60PSI all the way around, so that I can run my tires at 60-65PSI when I am not hauling anything. But for sure, I air up accordingly otherwise.
EDIT: I see in another post you like BFG Long Trail tires. Are these the ones you put on your truck? If so, those are passenger tires...
