Aftermarket Wheels

Well, to be fair, your truck looks like a woman owns it.

Nice . Well my wife drives it a ton so that's fine by me.

Beautiful look! I have been debating how these wheels would look on a Raptor, this definitely convinced me. Thanks for posting!

Thanks man! Glad the pics helped you decide for yourself. Get compliments on mine almost daily still...

I just installed my new wheels yesterday. 20x9 +20 with 35x12.50 BFG's. I'm very happy with the stance pushing the wheels 1.3" to the outside where they are almost perfectly flush now. Also pleased with the DDT machined and black finish against the Magnetic. I'm in the midlands of SC, so I'm not able to blast through the desert in Baja mode regularly...thus the reason I went with 20's versus staying with 17's or 18's. Next step is installing my Eibach Pro-Lift springs when they show up...

Just FYI, stock offset is 34mm. Your offset is 20mm, so you only pushed the wheels out 14mm or 0.55". A 0mm or 1mm offset would have pushed the wheels out 1.3"...

Both of your calculations are slightly off...

This calculation is taking into account the width of the wheels too. But its kind of a moot point if you keep the width of the tires constant. When you look at a front or back profile of the truck, you don't see the wheels, you see the tires. The tire will be centered on the wheel. So yes, while the wheel face may be sticking out slightly more, it will also be protruding in by the same amount that it is sticking out, but the tire moves out or in by the delta of the offset.

This is why it is commonplace now days to look at offset of a wheel vs back spacing how they used to do it. The offset measurement is the true centerline of the wheel and tire combo difference.

I mistakenly calculated the stock wheels as +44 offset instead of +34. The Fuel wheels are 9" wide versus 8.5" stock, so the wheels are pushed out 20.4 mm or .8". So we were both wrong... haha! Thanks for the heads up though.

As I posted above though, the centerline of your wheel and tire was pushed out by .55"... So unless you got a wider tire than stock, then the outside edge of your tire was only pushed out by .55"

True but you also have to take into account the extra .5" width of the new wheel too. So it actually sits .8" farther out than stock due to the extra .25" width on that side of the wheel. .55+.25=.8

Yes, the outside edge of the wheel is .8" further out. I am not arguing that at all.

However, the outside edge of the tire is only .55" further out than it was before. The CENTER LINE of the wheel and tire shifted out by 0.55" I don't know how else to say it.

A wider wheel will increase the sidewall bulge of the tire slightly but in this case it will be minimal and need not be considered for fitment purposes.

If you want to calculate using the tire bulge you can use this site.
