Stock wheel offset?

I've got the 20" chrome PVD wheels, and wondering if you guys know what the offset is? I'm looking at getting some Chrome Fuel Mavericks is 20x9, but want them to sit the least amount wider than stock as possible. My 37s are rubbing just enough to be annoying, and so If I can pick up only 1/4" - 1/2" wider, than that would solve the radius arm rub, and hopefully still keep the tire far enough away from the outside bumper and inner fender. Any help would really be appreciated.

+40
stock wheel 20x8 +40mm offset

Fuel wheel 20x9 +20 offset will stick out 0.8” further and have 0.3” less backspacing (will move wheel/tire away from suspension 0.3”)

That is really helpful.

Epic did a great video about 1/4" spacers, but I'm really on the fence about just going with new wheels, and that is the exact information I've been looking for. Thanks Kylant

Are you 100% sure +40 is s Ok offset? I have been told by two people kaltire and 4wheelparts that is was -12 offset same as all the wheel prior ford runs.

I am 99% sure. everything I have read, 2005 and up has had +40 offset.
-12 would make the wheels stick out very far from the fender

Thank you, OP, for this thread.

I want new wheels, but want to retain the stock "look".

you can use your stock wheels, but you shouldn't go bigger than about 35 inch tires. A 6 inch lift would look silly without much larger tires and offset wheels anyway in my opinion.

Thanks for the feed back and sorry for the typos. i'm trying to keep prevent dirt getting on the truck by keeping the tires under the truck. It is still early in the build out cycle a lot of companies are still working on their kits.
What a nice truck the 17 250's are. It may take 35's with out a list it sits pretty high stock.

Does that offset just apply to 20" wheels. I'm looking on tirerack and +20mm cant be right for a 18x9 wheel I'm looking at because no one makes one.

+20 is very common, even on 18x9. look at Fuel
+18 is very common as well

looks like tirerack has mostly +18 listed
