Hey folks!
I have been looking *drooling* on wheels now for a few days, and I want to end up with something that makes me happy.
I do NOT want a wheel that sticks out (meaning sticks out beyond the flairs. I have found the Helo black's in a 20X10 with a -12mm Offset. Trouble is, I have not a clue what offset I need to be looking for. Any ideas?
Here are the stock sizes...Wheel size 17x8.5
Wheel offset +18mm / 5.5" rear spacing. Do I need to match the offset with aftermarket 20's...and if I go 20, the wheel is 2 inches wider...acks...wtf Let me know what you all did...and toss a pic up.

I've saved quite a few rim and tire pics to see what I think, IMO, looks the best. I've come to the conclusion that I'm going with 20x10" with 37x13.50's. 22's look sweet but I'm afraid of rim damage if I decide to go wheeling or run over a curb. I don't want to have to worry about that. I figure with 37's on 20's you have the same amount of sidewall as you do on a stock rim and tire.

So you are running stock ride height right now? I see there is a cheap set on ebay...22" for 1200 + shipping...that seems pretty cheap.

I still think these are one of the coolest out there. Black Chromed of course...

Sweet! That will look great! I will be buying something in the spring I would think. I have pressed pause with the baby on route!
I do like those, and I think they would look great on my truck. I think I might still stick with the 20's though...you will have to toss some pics up when you get them on your truck. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I'll do that. Can't wait the day myself

These are 22". The thing is, that they look really awesome with limited edition BFG's.
I just got the tires too. And they are really bad ass...

W1N,
When are you getting these babies in? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I do have everything now (tires and wheels), except the new truck which should be arriving right after new years and the black chromed OEM center caps. If you want I can try to post some pictures of the tires or wheels. They sure look intimidating.

Is there a specification for a 20" x 10" wheel that will not rub? What would the backspacing and offset be for these wheels to fit without rubbing?

Looks like it's going to be really nice. I'm still debating on which type to get. KMC 22" rim looks really nice with BFG tires.

LOL! Yeah - I was like: What does he mean...OHHHHHHH, got it.
I just hate the added sand blast to the paint. Mud and what not is fine during off road driving...maybe I am being too hard on the look...but I never like tire showing over the body much.

37s aren't an automatic ticket to flares. Depends on the width of tire you get. Tim runs (I think) 37 x 12.5 and his don't seem to stick out. I imagine the backspacing and offset of your rims will impact things, too.
