    I am thinking about getting some 20's for my truck and would like to know what offset you guys are running. I want to be sure and have the tires fit in the wheel wells. I plan on running a 275-45-20 on a 8.5 - 9" wheel.

    Right now I am 2 in the back but I might go to a 2-4. From what I have seen most of the offsets in the 20" wheels are measured in mm. I think about 40mm is the most I have seen and that is only around 1.5".

    what type of wheels are you getting? you can get alot in in. centerline usally has a 5" back space on theirs. 5" of back space on a 20 should be fine for a 2-4

    What kind of wheels are u getting? Alot of companies like centerline dont give you any choices on offset. When i was getting my Budniks I called Everyone and alot of places wont tell u offsets. I have a 20x8.5 wheel and i went with 5 1/2. If yu get 8inch wheel id get lik 5 1/4" if you get 9" id go with like 5.75-6.0. Id run alittle smaller tire to, thats a big tire

    I got some ebay specials called Dare they are 8.5x20, I would liked to have had a little more backspacing but for the price I think I can live with these.

    do you ever plan on lowering it? Cause your wheels might need to be a diffrent offset for the stepside

    It is already -2 in the back, the most I would go would be a 2,4. Probably will end up with a 1,3.
