I want 20's with 1.5" wider over stock? What offset/backspace/tire&rim width works?

I'm going with the PRG mini lift/level kit. Not too concerned about rubbing b/c i dont drive it alot. I just want to spend some money on upgrading the look of the truck?

Thanks!

P.S.- I kind of like Nitto mud grapplers and the Toyo Muds too

to clarify, 1.5" wider on each side

are you going to flare the truck or just let them stick out? mine stick out 1/2"-1" and i sometimes get splatter up the side because of it...

i have 305/50 R 20's but would suggest a 305/55 as it'll fill up the wheel wells better... not sure about the backspacing, maybe chose a few rims you like, then go from there.

Like DeadRiver said, 305/50-20 or 305/55-20 will look good, ^^^ x2 on the 305/55-20. If you're looking into mud tires, 33x12.5-20 usually becomes a nice option too.

I was considering some bushwacker flares just for the look, but you just solidified the decision for me with the splatter, I didn't even think of that. THANKS!

I know negative offset give the rim a "deep dish" look, but does that necessarily mean they stick out further? Is that where backspacing comes in? Not too sure on this.

The more negative the offset the wider the stance! If you want a wide stance and no splatter, go with the Toyo Open Country MT's.

well first off i guess your looking for a 20x10 cause that would be 1.5 inches wider then the stock wheels. take a look at mine im 20x10 and go with the toyo muds they look bad a$$
