Savage,

Could you please tell me what is the offset of those wheels

Shack Rat...looks like you saw the answer to the first question. The wheels are 20 x 9 and have a -12 offset. Rear blocks are 3.5".

Im sorry, but I am confused. Somewhere in the hours and hours of researching tire size and wheel offset in the last few weeks, somewhere in this forum I saw a 20x10 wheel with -18 offset, and the tires (35x12.50x20) stuck out 2" from the fender. A 20x9 wheel with -12 offset should stick out like a 1/4" less than the 20x10 -18. From the picture of your truck, the tires look like they are right even with the fender. Can you please shed some light on this. Thank you

The second picture prolly shows it best, but clearly, mine stick out past the fenders about a 1.5". You're not nuts, the picture is deceiving.

I did a 2" leveling kit from ebay, cost me $20. I would definitely recommend a leveling kit! The one thing you should know is that the lift will cause your axle to shift over at least 1/2". I had to get an adjustable track bar in order to recenter it. That was the expensive bit at over $200. in the end it looks badas! I put 35x1250x20 on it and did some bushwacker fender flares.. i dont have a pic right now... sorry

I opted to go the cheap route and just swap out my stock tires from OEM rims to after market rims. I want to do some more homework on what I really want in a lift.

Downside is now the side steps and grille STICK OUT majorly. LOL.
