Here's my problem. Xd came out with a new wheel that they have in 20x10 -24 and one that is a 20x9 18 offset. Those are the only options for our truck. It also has a significant difference in the style of the wheel. I called rimz one and they said the one that is 9 with 18 offset would possibly have a lip of 2" where the 10" wheel would be much larger and that is what I'm looking for along with the aggressive stance. Between those difference in wheel sizes do you know how much lip would be on each wheel?

The problems you encounter will always be inner fender so what you can do is cut some steel, re-install plastic liner and zip tie it back so you dont rub. OR switch to a 2.5" level? the 1/2" does help
People run 6" lifts on -12 wheels... I think your -18 would be plenty of backspacing man. But, if you really like that bull dogged look, man -24 would stick out crazy far!

20x10 is 4.00" of BS=6" llip
20x9 is 5.3" of BS=3.7" lip

I'm not sure. I imagine there would definitely need some valance trimming and expect a little control arm rub.

I know Bud, but I'm a sucker for wide stanced trucks

Expo:

my 10" have a 3.75' lip, almost 4" so the -24 are boudn to have a 4" lip.

The nines will have something around 2" lip since its a +18

every 25 mm is roughly 1"

thats what the math says, but you have to take in consideration the design of the wheels also. the thickness of the spokes are probably about a inch, so that will make the lip smaller.

Yeah true. I can't find anyone running that wheel setup that is leveled. Trying to search about it and posted in wheels to see if I can get a response.

since they were 2 inches wider then that would be an extra inch on both sides. the other wheels have just 4 inches of bs and your old ones had 4.75. so that .75in.s makes them have basically the same size lip. you're basically adding an inch to the width then taking it away in the backspacing with your old wheels.

If fine style only has a little rub on one side with -18, -24 shouldn't be to bad I can always do some trimming. I'm returning my 2" and going with the 2.5"

What do you guys think about a 295/60R20? I've got a guy thats buying my 33s and I can make a pretty good profit off of it. The 295s are just about a 34 but only about 11.6" wide. Is it width or height that is hindering me with the wide wheels?

Its the width. 33s are not that much taller from the stock ? 275/65/18 ? that came on my truck? But 12.5" track width on 10s is the issue. rim&tire calculator says it should have more space then the 33s
