Wheel Width & Offset

I'm new to this website and was looking for a little advice on my new wheels. I was looking at some 20x10 wheels with a -12 offset. I will be running 305/55/20 tires with a leveling kit. I want some wheels that wont stick out much... any advice on this offset or width? (Please post pictures of your wheels with the dimensions if you have any) Thanks.

-Mitch

I have 17in ballistic jesters with a +12mm offset. They sit right at the fenders and look great.

How about a 20x10 with a +12 offset and a 5.97" backspacing? Do you think that would rub too much?

They will be about flush according to our guide. (Not counting the tire)

Are you planning on lifting the truck? What size tire are you wanting to run?

I do apologize, you mentioned all of that in your original post. It looks like you will be ok running the 20X10 +12 offset. From factory, the 20"package will stick out 37 mm (1.5'') farther. You will probably need to do some trimming. There is plenty of clearance to the inside.
