I know a lot of the F-250 guys are running this wheel. I'm looking in to pick up a set of 20X10 but I noticed they come in a -12 or -24 offset. I'm running at stock height as of right now (had brand new 305/55/20 Terra's on it when I bought it) and will probably go up to 35 on my next set.

Fuel's website list the lips at 3.5" for each wheel, so no advantage to one or the other there. Just curious which ones you guys are running and which would look best on my truck. The only lift I may ever do is a 2.5" front, so having the tires stick out really far isn't something I'm after. Anyone have pics to compare?

It comes down to how much you want the wheel to stick out. the -24 will stick out 12mm further than the -12 wheel.

the -24mm will be barely sticking out of the fender. looks the best IMO. the -12 will sit flush.

all this is assuming you have no factory flares.

Thanks for your help. Right now I'm running Gear Alloy Nitro's in a 20x9 +18 on Nitto Terra 305/55/20s. They sit flush with the stock fender flares. I've seen the -44 Fuel's and they stick out far too much. It sounds like the -24 may be the way to go.

The -24 look really good. Just enough poke, but not sticking way out like the 20x12 -44. Let me know if you would like a price on the Mavericks

your -12 is going to basically have a stock look to it. Most of the 20 and 22x10s we sell we go with the -24 offset because it pokes out just enough for a little more aggressive look. Stop height or leveled you will be happy with the -24

This is a crappy pic, but this is a customer of mine with a leveled 6.4 with 20x10 -24 hostages and 35x12.5 Toyos to give you an idea...

How much heavier are the 20x10 -24 offset mavericks then stock 6.7 platinum wheels I wonder? I want to switch to these badly but my mpg is already suffering enough.

Josh, great pic man.

Not sure if joking or serious, Tom. LOL I didn't take the pic... but it shows how they will sit decently I think.

Probably a little heavier. Did you really buy the truck for MPG though?

For sure. Well if you are increasing tire size and going to say a more aggressive tire it will not help! But that's what tuning is for LOL

Josh I'm serious man! I'm looking at 20x10 Fuel's for my rig next spring and don't want them to stick out that much. The pic you posted of the -24 wheels looks perfect.
