Offset question?

[NastyNate]

Say you wanted to put an 18x9 wheel with a 285/65/18 under the truck. The truck will have the keyed leveling kit put on also. The wheel comes in 2 different offsets, which one is the way to go. -12 offset or 18 offset?

I have the same rim/tire combo in the -12. They stick out a bit.

Any rub

Had to do a small amount of trimming.

you'll prob just have to trim the lower air dam a bit. Other than that they will look stout. The 18 would fit perfect just not sit as wide. Stock is +27

I rubbed a small amount on full lock in reverse on the rear too.

Here you go Nate...this is what it will look like.

+18 on 06 - tie back brake cable, cognito lev arms, shocks, trim front valance.

+18 on 08 - tie back cble, cog lev arms, shocks - rubs on rear of the fender at full lock if I hit a bump or am backing up.

I looked up your wheels and I believe they are a +12. Not a -12.

Thanks Pondsy, I went with the +18 on the XD Monsters and the 285/65/18 Nitto Trail Grappler.

Nice combo Nate - should look great!:thumb:

Jmaz - nice combo. If I get my rig in the shop to paint the chrome black, they are going to modify the fenders to fit 305/65/18 on -12 offset rim. Would like to have the deeper look and be able to run larger tires.

You going to put on bigger flares?
