I don't think you'll have any problems, may be a little trimming on the lower air valence which is no big deal

It appears I never updated this thread. I went with a set of 20x9s with a +12 offset and a set of 35x11.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I had to do some minor plastic trimming on the front air dam and a little bit on the back of the wheel well, no metal was trimmed...

Vette10R your truck looks awesome! How has the ride changed with the 5100’s? Is there a reason why you went with the 35x11.5 over a 295/60 tire? How big is the lip on those wheels? Also where did you purchase your wheels? I’m torn between Fuel Mavericks in a 20x9 +20 and Hostile Alphas in a 20x9 +12. Sorry for the abundance of questions. Thanks!

The ride is a little stiffer with the bilsteins but I like it, like others say it seems to handle better. It looks like a 295/60 is 33.9" where mine are 34.75". I'm not near my wheels right now but the lip is probably around 3"? And I ordered them from extreme customs in Wisconsin.

Thanks for everyone’s feedback. I’m ordering my wheels on Monday. I had planned on the 20x9 +20 Maverick. If I were to go with the +1 offset would that mean that I would have to trim more? The whole offset/backspace stuff is not something I totally understand, and I just want to make sure I order the right size. I’m also wanting to keep the trimming to a minimum. I’ll also be ordering the 5100 kit next week too!

I have +0 18x9 w/ 295/70. I did some trimming in both front and back. Even got into some metal on the back. it still rubs but I'm not cutting anymore. So I would say +18 would be good.

I got my 20x9 Fuel Mavericks put on and I’m getting the Bilsteins done on Monday! I’m really digging the way it looks!
