Earlier this year I purchased a set of Diamo 20x10 17 Karat. The backspacing is -12.

I want to wrap them in either 33x12.5 Toyo MTs or 305/55 Nitto Trails.

I have a leveled 2008 FX4.

How much trimming will I need to do?

I have my choice of 2 shops. The local one but not sure they are real experienced with trimming vehicles; OR a shop out of town that I know can make it fit no problem. I would rather go with the local shop as I know the folks real well and would rather deal locally given the economy and all. If it is just a little trimming, I'll stay local, but if a major job, feel like I'll need to go out of town.

Thanks for your help in advance.

P.S. - If anyone in Georgia, East Bama, or N. Florida wants to return their lifted truck to stock, let me know and we can work something out; or give me a heads up if you know someone. Thanks again.

 

Trimming is a job a 10 year old could do. Its really really easy, basically take a pair of snips and trim the back side of the inner fender well. Turn the wheels one way to full lock and trim off what is needed so the tires dont touch it. Turn the other way and repeat. Seeing that you have 33's and your leveled, you shouldnt need to trim much at all, if anything.

 

Thanks Stu, I appreciate it.

 

no problem, keep it local man. if they are competent enough to run a shop, they can knock this out with no problem. just make sure they do it neatly, and not a hack job.

 

Its the neatness issue I'm worried about, especially if there is a lot of cutting based on that offset. I guess I could always buy a new valance if it gets fubared.

 

Anyone else want to chime in and help a brother out?
