what is the perfect offset for bigs tires?
My 2.5 suspension lift and 3 bodylift is on the way...next should be 33 11,5 r16( known as 285 75 16) i think stock wheel offset is +35 how much negative offset should i go with on 16X8 most aftermarket are 5.5 16x8 0 offset or -12 is it gonna be good ok i should keep stock wheels with small spacer?

just for referance...i have 33-12.50's on an 18x9 wheel with 0 offset, i get just a small ammount of rub on the frame but only at full lock to the left going forward, but i still had to trim some of the plastic inner fender, so if the wheels were sucked in any more than are they rub the frame bad, and pushed out any further they would hit steel on the body...

so refer to this site your back spacing is 5'' so i should look at the same exact backspacing? i wold prefer to stay inside the fenders to keep away from tickets. and bushwacker discontinued their club cab flares and trx 4 seems very small
so a 16X8 +12 should be perfect...not much choice of wheels

Trust me they r the same. The front don't matter because the front fenders r the same, but the bed is different on the two styles of trucks. What I mean by different is that the gas cap is farther away from the wheel well on a club cab than it is on a quad cab, with this being said, they r the same because the cut out on drivers side for the gas cap is on the fender flare, but the gas cap is about a foot in front of the cut out. Also the slope at the bottom of the bed where the groove is at is slightly different on the two trucks. On a club cab with the flares there is a slight gap( barely noticeable) that is at this groove. I calld bushwacker and complained, they said that it was there fault that they thought the two trucks had the same style of bed, and that the flares would work also on the club cab. I then told them the number that was on my product and they said that I ordered correctly, but that thet flare were the same between the two truck styles.

Hey trucker, I have a question for you. I am running the stock chrome wheels with my 33's, but I have a lot of rub on the frame (I am running the 285/70-17's = 33x11.5x17). If the stock wheel is +35mm offset, then to get a 0 offset for my wheels I should be able to run 1.5" spacers. 1"=25mmx1.5=37.5mm. So, 1.5" spacers would give me -2.5mm offset, but I am wondering if I will then be rubbing on the metal on the bottom rear fender well. Do you rub on the metal of the fender if you are articulating your suspension? Thanks for any help.
