Need some opinions / help on offset

[JaredW]

I'm about to order wheels and I'm torn between 2 offsets. I am currently on stock wheels and tires running a 1.5" spacer.

I'm going to an 18x9 and the options are +1mm or -12mm

If my calculations are correct, the stock wheel with my spacer would be like a -12mm offset currently. The new wheel would be .5" wider but the tire should sit about the same width correct? I have no rubbing currently and would like to keep it that way! I am also happy with the stance of my current setup in terms of how far out they sit.

Which one would you guys go with?

The two popular offsets seem to be -12 and 0. I went with an 18x9 with a -12 offset. Really happy with the stance.

You don't happen to have a side shot do you that shows how far out they sit?

Here is +12

Looks good! Right about flush with the fenders?

That's what I was going for.
The wheels are 20 x 9.5 the tires are 11.4 wide and 33.6 dia no rubbing with a 10mm lower shock spacer to help with level.

Not the best and probably not exactly what you’re looking for. I’ll try to take some better pictures tomorrow.

That's what I was using earlier but there is no compensation for the wider wheel. It said stock wheels with a 1.5" spacer will be the exact same as a 18x9 at -12mm.

Looks good though! Stock tires still?

Yes, still on the stock GoodYears. Running a Peak level and Cognito ball joint control arms. Taller / wider tires are in the truck’s future.

Yeah I'm gonna run mine out for a while then I'll be doing the same.

Are your calipers painted or are you running some sort of cover?

You're welcome. Thanks for the link. The bronze ones look great too!

Went the -12mm route.

side note...i loved reading this thread. you can get so much info from members who either know the calculations on shit or have done it thru trial and error. great forum!!!

 

[ZR2xBIZON]

@ZR2NYC I agree.

I went with the 18mm offset and no spacers and it’s pretty flush. I had 1.5” spacers with the stock wheels, but the new wheels rubbed with the spacers. Just moved the stock tires over to the Methods. The plan is to move to the 35’s down the road.
