05 running 35x12.50 on 20x 9 BMF SERE wheels

I get some rub on the leafs at full turn. This is starting to annoy me more. I think what I needed were the 20x 10 which have some - offset

Sooo, I Love my wheels and want to keep the exact same style. I am assuming it would be incredibly difficult to find someone who wanted to trade a 20x10 for a 20x9. Is there any type of website or clearing house that would be helpful for some type of trade ? Should I try to sell mine and buy 20x10s or get some hubcentric spacers ?

What would you do ?

Do you even know what the offset is of the wheel you have right now?

If not, how can you determine what offset you're going to need?

A -12 offset will let you run 37x12.5. You can do this by getting one of the two sizes below.

20x9 wheel with a 4.5 inch backpace -12 offset
20x10 wheel with a 5 inch backspace -12 offset

These wheels wil center the tires exactly the same. With that offset and a 12.5 wide tire you will have just the side lugs poking out. It's a great fitment.

Here are mine. 20x10 / 5" backspace / -12 offset. Tire 275-65-20 (34.1 X 10.8)

It also has to do with "true" tire size. I run the Toyo open country a/t II 35x12.5r20 on a 20x10 wheel with 4.5bs. I have tire rub on the springs. The problem is the tire measures 13" wide. I'm thinking once the tread wears down some, it will stop rubbing.

So that puts you at a near zero offset. I'd suggest 33" for that offset. Or just deal with it as its a small rub at near full lock.
