A Little Help on a 2009 Platinum...
Hey guys. Here before too much longer I am going to be shopping for a set of wheels and possibly tires for my 09' Black Platinum. What I need a little help on is what the wheels will look like based upon the backspace and offset. I completely understand the concept of backspace and offset, I just can't visualize what the wheels will look like, with the lip and how they will look on the truck. So if any of you could post a picture of your wheels and tires and give me the backspace, offset and size of tires (preferably 20's or 22's) I sure would appreciate it. I want a wheel with a little bit of a dish to it, but I don't want it to stick out past the fender 6" either. I just need a idea of what I am looking at. I also haven't decided on whether to go black and chrome or pure chrome wheels yet. Thanks for the help and I look forward to some of your pictures.

The wheels on my Expy would be the same specs as your 09. They are 22x9.5 inches with 6.71 inches of backspacing. The edge of my tire/wheel is just about even with the edge of my fender flares. I have a couple of pics in my gallary but no closeups. A lot of what kind of lip the wheel has to do with how the wheel is designed.
