Default 20x10 fuel offroad hostage wheel with 35 inch toyo open country mt

So finally I am going to order some new rims and tires. I have been looking for a long time but have been waiting to wear my current tires down a bit.

Ive been looking for a long time and finally settled on some chrome fuel offroad hostage wheels. Hope to order 20x10 with -12mm offset.

Got a killed deal on some tires so the Tires will be 35x12.5x20 toyo open country mts and hoping there will not be any rubbing issues as they Run a little big, there site says they are 13 inch wide.

This is the step up

My truck has 2.5 inch leveling kit and 1.75 inch blocks in the rear to give it extra height.


Anyone think the wheels should be a different offset before I order them this weekend???

I have 20x9 fuel hostage -12 offset w/ 305/55/20s. 2" level on the front. No rubbing at all. I have tried to measure to see if a 35x12.50 would fit. I think it would but may require some inner lining trimming.

By fenders you mean the inner fender lining had to be trimmed? You have any pics of where you had to trim?

I also have Bushwacker pocket flares on my truck and I dont think they would be a problem but it looks like the inner fender would with a 35x12.5x20.

Thanks for clearing that up. That's exactly where I thought I would have problems. You didn't have to trim the inner near the cab at all?
