Seems like upinsmoke has you covered but here are some 20x10's... It was a tough decision between the 20x12's or 20x10's but I think I made the right choice.

I mounted one on the rear pass side. Its about an inch farther out.the wheelwell than my old.ass 16x12s. Its gonna look sweet. Oh, and I realized that my plan to keep chrome is.seriously up in the air.now. The throttles beg to.be on.an.all black truck.

What was the offset and bs on the wheels?

On my truck now, with 12 wides, the tires.dont really.stick out. Generally speaking Id.say my truck appears wide but.is.actually just slightly proud of the lip on the fender, right above the wheelwell. The 12 wides(throttles) are about an inch wider, which makes sense given the difference in offset. My old 16s are -25 offset, the new ones.are.-44. A net difference of about 20mm. Or an inch(25.4mm/inch). Im not underestimating your understanding of all this wheel lingo. Not at all. But I anticipate 2"of "stick out" once a tire is mounted on these.wheels.

Heres a.couple.of.my old.setup. As you'll see with a -25 offset, the ****.dont.stick out much even with a 16x12/37x13.5. Just slightly.

Mine are -44 as well. 2" is being conservative IMO

Tires don't rub at all at full lock now. They did before on the inner fender liner, but I trimmed it and it fixed the problem.

It is very close to rubbing the front fender but it never has.

Roll pan I bought used from a guy and I traded to a friend for an 08 bumper.

The roll pan was from Lund and it was fiberglass.

I'll take a pic of how much I trimmed the left front inner fender.
