Wheel Offset...

I'm planning on finally getting some wheels and new tread under my '06 FX4. So far my plan is to get some KMC XD Revolvers at 20x10. I have a choice between -24mm and -12mm offset and I'm not the biggest fan of tires sticking way out the side. I would prefer to go with the -12mm because they'd stay inside. I'm just not sure though if I have to worry about too much rubbing or if they'll even fit inside. I'm also planning on putting on tires around a 35x12.50x20. Any ideas would be appreciated and also ideas on websites for where to get the wheels and/or tires would be nice too. So far I found some wheels on this site, http://www.westkycustoms.com/product...&utm_campaign=

I forgot to put in that I'm going to get a 2.5" leveling kit when I get the wheels put on.

What backspacing does that work out to be?
Also, you won't be able to fit 35's on a 10 inch wide wheel with only a leveling kit regardless of what the bs/offset is.

From the stuff I found online I'm pretty sure that the -12mm would be 5" backspacing and the -24mm would be 4.5". That sucks about not fitting 35s... I guess maybe I'll have to go 33 or maybe get a lift. Anyway, would both sizes fit? Thanks for the help.

You will need to lift the truck more, or go with 33's.

I guess I'll have to just get some 33s, I haven't looked too much for them, but I guess it shouldn't be too hard to find them. So do you think that with 5 or 4.5 inches of backspacing would be too much? I'm just trying to make sure I don't get wheels that go too far inside, but I would like to stay as close to the fender as possible.

A 10 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of bs will stick out 3 inches farther than the OEM 17 and 18 inch wheels. A 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of bs will stick out 3.5 inches farther than stock. If you are concerned about the wheel sticking out too much, I'd suggest a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 to 6 inches of bs.
