Default Rim and Tire Experts....

I want to run these wheels:



With these tires:

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=false&cs=305

I plan on running them in 20x9. I do not want to lift my truck. The overall diameter on this setup is 33.5" and the stockers measured 33.25. What offset will I need to get these on my truck. I have a 09 4x4 Hemi.

Thanks Jae

Where do you guys shop for wheels online...? I had some pretty common American Racing Torque Thrust Ms on my Camaro, easy to find at the local shop, but I want to look around more for my truck.

You will be able to clear that setup with anything less than a zero offset. The more negative it is, the more it will stick out past your wheel wells but the more it pulls the wheel/tire off your control arms. I dont know exactly what positive offset would work, as you would have to ask someone who is running the same tire on a 9 wide rim what they can tuck

Ok so negative offset will bring it away from the a arms. So I would have to have at least -1 to insall this setup as 0 will contact the a-arms?

I believe factory 20,s are plus 19 offset. I just put 20x8.5inch boss rims on my truck that are plus 14 offset with 275/55-20 tires and fit perfect.As someone else stated the more negative the offset the more the wheel comes out away from the truck.

you should clear it with a 0 but i wouldn't go positive..i believe XD has 0, -12 and -24. 0 and -12 would be optimal in my opinion
