anybody have an 04-08 4x4 leveled with a 20x9 wheel and 33x12.5 tires. lookin into this set up and want to know if 20s r to big or if i should do 18s, thanks, im lookin at the rim with 4.5 in bs to, if anybody has this kind of set up could u post pics so i can see how it looks, thanks

 

20x9 KMC Hoss. -12 offset. 33/12.60/20 Terra Grapplers. Theres a couple more in my gallery

do -12 offset the same as having 4.5 bs

 

Yes.

 

thanks, anybody else got any pics with a set up like this

 

more pics in my gallery.. im running 18s though

 

I have exactly what your asking for. Additional specs are 5.71 backspace +18 offset, Bilstein 2" level struts







And here is how close it is to the upper arm.

nice set up, almost exactly what im lookin for but with toyo m/t and eagle alloys that look close to that, did u have and trimming to do with the valence and to u rub when u turn fully, and do u rub when flexing???

 

Here is my truck with 33x12.5 Toyos and 18x9 rims. I personally like the smaller rim diameter with the 33" tire because it gives you the look of more rubber. The Rockstars have 5" of BS, so they stick out 3/4" further than Darren's.

I have a 2" AS in the front and 3" ReadyLift blocks in the back with SuperSpring helpers to prevent sag when towing my boat. I had to do minor trimming on the lower valence to prevent rubbing when backing out of my garage.

yea i think ima go with the 18x9 instead of the 20x9 just cause the tires will be cheaper when i order tires, but nice set up those rims look good on ur truck, how much wider would the tire stick out if u had a 4.5bs

 

is that at full turn with it close to the upper arm, so it dosent rub?? and would it be further away with a 4.5bs then the 5.71? nice truck by the way

 

I had 20s on my truck from the factory, but I still went with the 18s. I like the look and the larger side walls ride better on the street. I think 20s look good with 35" or bigger tires.

A 9" wide wheel with 4.5" of BS will stick out 1/2" further than mine. (ie. You will have 1/2" less of your wheel under the truck) If you plan to go with a 6" lift in the future, most of them recommend a 4.5" BS wheel.

You are correct. The 4.5 BS will move the wheel/tire 1.21 inches further away from the inside of the truck. The less BS, the futher they stick out and the more chance you have of rubbing on the lower valence when you turn your wheel.

idk if ima do a 6 inch lift, i might in the future, but i like the truck stance with the wider tire, makes it look bigger with out lifting it, ya know but thanks

the valence can easily be trimmed i think so if thats all that it will rub then its not that big of a deal to trim some of the valence

but what about flexing the rear tires with that wide of a tire, will they rub the bed fender and tear up the bed??????

 

I have not heard of anyone having problems with rubbing at the back. Even when my front was higher than the back and I was towing my boat, I did not have issues. Yours will only stick out a 1/2" further than mine, so it will not be an issue.

I did not like the the bulldog look, so I added the 3" ReadyLift blocks to the rear and 2000 lb SuperSpring helpers to keep it from sagging when I tow.
