Ok, another question if I run -12 offset 4.53 bs in a 18" rim with a 305/55/20 should there be any problems?

Yes, the tire will fall off.

You should have no problems running a 33" tire with those wheel specs.

Compare my 325/60/18 with your 305/55/20

Yeah that probaly wouldn't work very well. Meant to say a 305/55/18. I'm seriously thinking about going with a 18" tire because of the price difference. And I can get the Moto Metal 951 with a negative offset in 18 and can't get it in 20.

Yeah I'm actually considering going to a 17 inch wheel. I like the look of more tire then wheel plus I'm not really happy with the XD Monsters I got a few months ago. I hate the center caps on these wheels. I'm going to machine some custom aluminum covers and see how that looks before I ditch them. The wheel I really like is the EA 178 in chrome but they are discontinued.

Ok this may be a stupid question, but if I go to a 18" rim will this improve fuel mileage? I'm thinking no because I would go with a bigger tire. Let me know what you all think.

I would guess that a 33" tire with 20's would weigh a little more then a 33" tire with 18's but I doubt you would notice much, if any, in fuel mileage. Other than that, 33 inches is 33 inches. If you're trying to save money 18" wheels and tires cost less but if your heart is set on 20's then get them. If your spending $2k +/- on tires and wheels you might as get what makes you happy even if it costs you a couple of bucks more initially.

Well I'm tired of going back and forth I think I'm going with the Procomp 6001 and stick with my 275's for now and see what it looks like.

Well went with the Procomp 6001 with -12 offset and 4.5 bs, hopefully it will give me the look I am going for.

Shifty do you have a pic of your truck from the side, where you can see the whole rim? I went with the Procomp 6001 and don't like the look of the rim and I am thinking about going with the 1079.

I didn't think a 17 inch wheel would clear the calipers...? You may want to measure.
