Looking for wide offset wheels
I cant remember if I posted this here before or not. But I have a few questions.
When I lift my excursion, I want to gey 20x14 wheels, which I know will already have a wide stance because of the width itself. My question is about offset/backspacing. What offset/BS would give me the widest stance? For example, on my jeep wrangler, I got 15x10s, which a lot of jeeps run, but they usually run 3.75 to 4 inch backspacing. I opted for 2.5" backspacing because I wanted the wheel itself to stick out that much more. Theres an f250 near my job with what looks like 14 inch wide wheels, but they look extra wide offset wise, and its the exact look im after. Ill try and snap a pic or 2 later or tomorrow.
What are the stock wheel backspacing? Or if you guys have any pics of yours, post them up with the wheel specs please!
My buddy has an 04 ex and hes lifted 8in and runs 20x14s, and they stick out super wide, but he runs spacers. I don't want spacers, I just want to buy the correct offset that'll give me the same look.
Thanks!

Here's my buddies 04, next to another buddies truck that he recently sold. The truck on on 20x14s on 40s. The ex is 20x14s on 38s. Not sure if theyre the same offset, but like I said the ex has spacers. I want that look without the need for spacers.
Here's a pic of my jeep. Not everyone likes the stance, but I personally love it and wouldn't go any less wide than what I have it haha

That's hard on wheel bearings/ball joints.
Tires sticking out that far in my state is illegal as hell. I'm running 16x10s with 4 inches of back spacing. They stick out just enough to make a mess of the vehicle on muddy/snowy roads.

I know about the wheel bearings. People said that about my jeep also. But as much as I drive it (not much at all) I think itll be fine. I dont offroad it either. And luckily there is no law for tires sticking past fenders in Florida :-)
Could you post a pic of your 4" bs 16x10s?

Thats extremely hard on front end parts, as well as looking awful...but stock backspacing is 4.5" with +6mm offset

I run 20x12's and 33x13.50's -44 and there's just a bit of poke, to get the look you want you'll want the 20x14's and 15.50 width tires, -76 offset. Don't think you can get much more than that.
