Which Offset?

[blwn02]

im going to be installing my ccm 2.5" leveling kit pretty soon so i need to get some new wheels/tires picked out. Ive got it narrowed down to either a KMC chrome spy wheel or the Moto Metal 951 in chrome. Either way, im going with a 18x9 and an aggressive looking tire like the toyo m/t. Im just unsure what backspace and offset i need the wheels in? I want it to stick out from the fenderwell just ever so slightly to give it that wide stance. Please let me know what i need, thanks guys

Hey Ryan. Maybe I can help with some pertinent information on your tire/wheels combo.

 

I have an 09 GMC Sierra 4x4. I installed a CCM 2-1/2" Leveling Kit and a Zone Offroad 1.5" body lift kit.

 

I installed a set of Moto Metal 951's in 18"x9" w/ +18mm offset, and wrapped them with Cooper Discoverer STT tires in LT305/60R18.

 

I really like the Cooper STT's because they are very aggressive and they do not sound like a herd of B51 bombers coming down the road. They are very suprisingly quiet, and I hear they get about 40k miles, which is better than most I have heard of.

 

The +18mm offset places the tires about flush with the fender well. Check out the pic.

 

I found the best price on the wheels at rimzoneonline.com and the best price on tires at treadepot.com.

I have absolutely no interference or rubbing issues whatsoever. No trimming required.

 

If you need any help with the leveling kit, just ask, it isn't hard at all.

thank very much for the response....truck looks good!

 

do you think you'd have rubbing if you didnt' do the body lift? thanks again!
