2 different wheel offsets

Anyone else notice front tires stick out about 3/4 to and inch more than the rear when installing aftermarket wheels?
Im thinking Im going to run 20x9x+18 in the front and 20x9x+1 in the rear, this is a goofy look that I don't care for and I believe +18 is about 3/4 of an inch, both should end up flush with the fenders, any thoughts? opinions? ideas? i'm all ears, and sold the ugly wheels on it already

this is a soon to be 3/5.5 drop, fleet side 2wd RCSB i just bought

Nice looking truck,........

are you saying this only happens with AFTERMARKET wheels ??? or you just noticed it when removing the STOCK wheels ?
Yes there is a difference between the front and rear width.. Never measured how much... thought it was minimal.

What I am saying is that the track is different, and I am thinking of using different offset wheels to fix the funky look, and was looking for opinions ,thoughts, ideas on this subject,
I just picked this truck up for a song and a dance and wanting to make some changes, lower it, different wheels, find someone to trade beds, prefer fleetside
anyway a 20x9 w/+20 offset is .800 different than 0 plus the rear wheel will have a little deeper look kind of modern day prostreet, thinking also of running offroad wheels with street tires and fuel nitro d667 would look great with a 3/5.5 drop. im not much of a bling or player wheel guy

the step side might be somewhat "RARE".......... might look into that and want to keep it............. if not, I would think it would sell FAST.

Fleet side is same as styleside, that is a flareside (formerly step side) truck. Nice looking unit too.

The width LOOKS different due to the narrower nose of the truck. This brings the front of the front wheel wells in a bit, creating the illusion.
