yes its too much , according to pro-comps specs cant run more than 5 inches of backspacing with their lift

NEVER get a high + offset for a 4wd truck unless you like wheels that tuck in. With that point, get the 20x10 like everyone else and it'll come in a - offset which will look much better, more aggresive.

Yes, GOODLUCK finding a KMC wheel until the economy picks back up. The only wheel you may be able to get is the Monster, which is why EVERYONE is getting them.

Yes I had the 35's on 22's. With the wheel I have (22x11 w/ -25 offset) I had to trim the front valance and also the front fender flare at the bottom on the backside. The Nitto is a fairly wide tire and it would rub. The white truck is one I found online and I was thinking of switching to the Hoss's. It has an 8" Rize, 22x9.5 KMC Hoss, with 37x13.5 Kumho's. If you're wanting to go with a 22 and not cut then try something that doesn't stick out as much, maybe around a 0 to -18 offset and in 22x9.5 or 22x10. Also if you want a more aggressive tire Super Swamper make 2 of them and also BF Goodrich ( kind of high though $600/tire)

You should be good with the Hoss's. It's only a 9.5" wheel and they don't stick out like mine.

I have the 20x9 5.71bc Moto Metals also. I was told at my local offroad shop that it didnt matter the backspacing since I had 20's. He said they would go around everything without rubbin cause they was so big. Is this true??? I was askin bout a Fabtech so it may just depend on the lift.

i would find a new shop, that is a dumb answer. backspacing is the issue, rim size is not, you will have to find the max backspacing allowed with whatever kit you decide on. the fabtech allows for stock rims and tires, so if the backspace is less than 5.5 inches you should be OK.

pro comp states that a 5" backspace is max, so if you wanna keep those wheels, the pro comp is dead in the water.

I thought that answer sounded crazy cause these lift manufacturers would not put the back spacing limit on there for nothin. This is a pretty well known local shop and dont really have anywhere else to take mine around here. But thanks for the answer I may have to go and talk to them again!

i think he was talking about clearance issues with brakes, that would be on why he would say "they would go around everything without rubbin cause they was so big"
