Stock suspension wheel/tire combo 99-04

[Nick7.3]

I wanted to do 20x12 rims with 33x12.5 tire.. I'm sure it will rub. I want to avoid trimming and keeping the stock suspension.. Would a 20x10 be more suitable? Also what tire size would be my best bet?

I'd do 12s on a 99-04. They dont stick out as much as most people think.

20x12

What offset and tire should I run so I don't have to trim?

 

[Nick7.3]

Trim the panels to fit the tire

You dont get to select offset. Most, if not all, 12 wides will be -44 offset. There is a guy running 33x13.5 on his 20x12s on a bone stock 00 3/4 ton. He ziptied the fenderwells back so there is no rubbing..

I wanted to go 20x12 Moto metal 962 with the -44 offset then federal couragia 33x12.5 tire. So I should be good to go?
Also would I be ok to tow with this setup?

 

[TyCorr]

You should be ok. If not you might have to pull back the fender liner. Ive heard of people heating them and then reforming them.

Thanks for the help I really do appreciate it!

If I need to pull back the fender liner where would I zip tie it to?
Also would a 305/55/20 be a better choice for more clearance compared to a 33x12.5?

On those two sizes, I don't know. If you look at the picture I posted those are 35x12.5 on 20x12. The tire doesnt really bulge or stick past the wheel profile. So either is probably good to go.

The 305/55/r20 is 12in wide versus 12.5.. Thought the smaller .5" help reduce rubbing?

 

[TyCorr]

Ummmmm. No.The wheel dictates the tires width. On anything narrower than a 12.5 the rim will probably stick out farther than the tire.

Technically a 305 shouldn't even be 12" wide. 325mm is a foot. Id be surprised if a 33x13.5 was much different. It may appear wider as the tread would be wider but youd probably just have some bulge in the sidewall. I have 37x13.5 on a 16" wheel here and theres not much difference in width.
