Stance is pretty wide. Sometimes I like it... sometimes I think it's maybe a bit too wide. I have a feeling that if it sat narrow and tall, I'd probably hate it.
I also like the deep dish look. Not a fan of having the wheel flush with the face.
So, I need new tires and I'm using it as an excuse to update things a bit. Want to do a clean matte/satin black wheel. Really like the XD Strike a lot. But I'm not sure I like my options on wheel config.
20x9 has +18OT 5.71BS - I'm concerned this will look too "flush" and sit too narrow for my taste.
20x10 has -24OT 4.56BS - I'm concerned this will sit way too wide. Like 2" total wider than my current setup.
Thoughts? Anyone have pics with the XD Strike wheels? Anyone know of a similar style wheel that I may get closer to my specs on?
IMHO I like the wheels out past the fenders. My wheels are a +25 offset and i added 2" wheel spacers to it hold me over until i can get new wheels. I loved my new set-up over stock for about 3 months, and then i wanted more! (thats why i added the spacers a few weeks ago) I always consider it like tires and lifts... If you "settle" for what you think you will like, you will always want bigger... i know from personal experience!

Thanks HillCountry. I think my setup sits about the same as yours does with my Eagle wheels. I'm happy with that stance. Not sure about going wider though.
Now I'm looking at a 20" Fuel Trophy wheel that has 0 backspacing. That might be a good compromise. Bring things in a little bit, but not too much.
Here's a pic of my truck with the brand new shoes 4 years ago. We just stripped the wrap and getting ready to install a new one. Need some new shoes to go with it and breath some new life into the beast for her 10th birthday coming up
Don't you guys with the wheels sticking out of the fenders have issues with rocks/dirt getting kicked up and scratching up the paint?

I find not driving it helps with this
I have only put about 500 miles on my truck this year. I keep up with the wax on the lower body portion and have had good luck. Avoiding dirt roads and bad streets helps too.
