I am getting a new set of Fuel Nutz D251 with the Toyo Open Country M/T's. The Fuels come in a +14 and +20 offset. I was drawn to the Nutz D251's after seeing a pic from Wheeltec online of these wheels on a raptor. I was told that the raptor in the pic had the wheels set at a +20 offset. Upon inquiring about the wheels, I was told the manufacturer recommends the +14 offset. I have a 2" lift on my screw and need recommendations on the best setup. I was told the +14 offset will stick out more than the +20. I like the look, but I don't know how far they will stick out and one of my biggest concerns with the +14 offset is with wheels that stick out and shoot crap down the side of my truck. This is not a big deal until winter hits and the door handles are covered in slush and ice. Any feedback or recommendations would be appreciated! I am new to this so please forgive my ignorance.

Guessing these are 9" wide wheels?

9" with +14 would be ~1" wider than stock
9" with +20 would be ~.8" wider than stock

The majority of the trucks here with methods and the like, run 8.5" and +0 offset. So your 9"/+14 would run .8" closer to the inner fender, and .3" recessed in comparison (.8"-.3"=.5" wheel size diff). If you're set on these id get the +14. Not my cup of tea, but since your a fellow hawkeye I cant give you a hard time :patriot:

There had to be an easier way to describe that!!! :) I'm an engineer but I feel like Rainman when it comes to wheel offsets and back spacing.
