IS anyone running a -12 offset 4.53 BS with a stock size tire?? Just wondering how much they stick out on an 18" rim??? Post up some pics if you run them...Thanks

Your gunna be stickin out quite a bit. That's about 1.7 inches farther out than stock would be, unless you have a lift I'd look for a different set with a positive or at least 0 offset

I would be OK with a 0 offset, I have a 0 on my GMT-400 and I think it looks perfect.. I just dont like the way a + offset looks, Im OK with 0 but i really like the deep look of a negative wheel offset.... Problem is, the wheels I want only come in -12

I see where you're coming from looks wise. Also I just notice you had a gmt-800, the specs I posted are in reference to a gmt-900, so you may want to do some more research and hunting around to see what you can up up with, but I believe the specs are about the same.

Right now I do have a GMT-800 and a 400 (work truck) , but I am in the process of getting a 900, and selling the other ones , so my question was based on a 900... It was nice I bought the wheels for my 88 and when that truck became a hauler, I just switched them to the 02, looks real good with them and 285/75/16's, it fit perfectly, no trimming anywhere... I just wish I could put them on the new one

I'm running -12mm offset wheels with 275/65/18 and a 2" Leveling Kit. The Tires rub just a little bit, but I have mudflaps. I would think that stock tire size in your situation would be all good.

The above link is a picture of said set up.

I'm running a -18 offset, if that helps any. front tires probably stick out 1.5 inches and the back are perfectly flush with the fender flares.

Thanks for the pic and thread... DO you have any other shots of the truck from the front or rear???

Not sure if the GMT-800 and GMT-900 would be the same... Do you have pics of your set up??

Oh sorry, your truck is still listed as a 2002, I thought that's what you were talking about.

ajensen383 · January 21, 2011

sorry, I am getting a 2010 soon and want to look at wheel options for it... Right now I still have a 2002 though

Truck. I saw 20x9 -12 and 35s dosnt look to bad. Some finder flares would make it look better

ajensen383 · January 21, 2011

I absoutley LOVE that truck ^^^... THats why I really wanted to see if the -12 will fit.. Thats the same color I am getting and the wheels just really set it off.. Ive been looking for days for the right wheel and these are the only ones I like so far... Although the new MOTO 960 are sweet. THey look like RGA GMC wheels, and I like those as well...I do like to have the wheel stick out just a little

are you lifted? I wont look right otherwise!

THats why I really wanted to see if the -12 will fit..

They will fit a truck with a 9" lift no problem..

Seriously though, I don't think you will like the look with the stock tires. IMO there is something about smallish street tires sticking out of the fenders that just doesn't look right.
