Do not do -12mm wheels unless you are a street queen or like ****** ride, replacing parts (not under warranty)...

as everyone said after me. same thing. dont do it unless your street queenin. 0 offset is your best and safest bet unless you have spare wheel hubs and cv shafts laying around.
i had -1 rims and i had problems now i got -6 mm rims and still have problems.. but mostly all sorted it out. if you wanna change 4 wheel hubs and 4 cv shafts like me in a time period less than a year go for it.

beauty has a cost. My only concern was the quality of the ride being affected by the - offsets, but apparently thats not the case.

The only thing it do is to shorten the life of the components.

Could you describe what kind of issues did you get?

it will rub your fenders














Oh wait, you knew that already.

You have to be on top perch to stop the rubbing. Then that increases the shock preload and the truck rides like shit. Being on top perch also causes issues with cv boots..

Do what you want.. We have answered your question from our experience. -12 mm is a no go!

What about this case
Icons 3.0
37" tires
Boatec fenders

besides what has already been stated...it "looking better" is only an opinion of you and maybe some others. I like a wide aggressive stance as much as the next guy but when the tires stick too far out from the fenders in my opinion it cheapens the look.

also, in some states you will fail safety inspection if your tires overhang the fenders by too far.

ok that wont rub so you sorted that out...

but enjoy replacing parts not covered by warranty.

explain my problems? its self explainable... -12 offset = too much stress on wheel hubs unless you plan on getting aftermarket wheel hubs which dont exist for our trucks.

as everyone said do as you will its your truck you asked the question most offered their help, its up to you to make the decision but dont come back in a few months with busted wheel hubs and complain.

In ontario is completely illegal on the ontario highway act for tires to stick out from fenders..... its also illegal to not have mud flaps... i have neither never had a problem

Guys,

1 - He does NOT have a raptor yet
2 - He's not from the states
3 - It sounds like he has a lots of money so let him experiment with his negative offset wheels.
