Nice looking truck, Like someone mentioned earlier-does it fit in the garage. I was worried when I bought mine about cab clearance. I was good and still have 4-5".

They are 20x9 5" back spacing and -12 offset. Tires are 35x12.50x20

Nice truck. Those wheel specs don't jive though. 5" bs = 0 offset on a 9" wide. -12 offset would be 4.5 bs.

You are right. I typed it wrong. I was able to sell the wheels on Ebay. I have a set of 20x10 Hostage and a set 0f 20x9 Rockstar 2 wheels ordered. Want to see them in person and make a decision. Company was cool with me sending one set back.

What gears does your have in the rear axle? I wanna lift mine when bds comes out with a kit but it's only got 3.08s and I'm thinking that's going to put a lot of stress on the tranny. Just curious what yours were

I have 3:42 gears. Just got back from a 900 mile trip and it averaged 16 MPG. That is running 70-80 MPH. I can get 17-18 on country roads running under 60 MPH.

Are you tuned? Those numbers sound way too good to be true.

I know! No tune yet. I will take a cell phone pic of the DIC when I go out for lunch. When I say country roads I mean no stop signs or traffic. Around town I am averaging around 14.5 MPG. I think if I go to a lower gear I can get better mileage on the interstate. The tires and the fact that the truck is about as aerodynamic as a brick kills it. It really doesn't shift out of 6th too much either. I had my concerns coming from my 2010 F-150 with 3:73 gears and a 6 speed. It did really well on our trip from Atlanta to Destin FL.

Once you correct for tires expect those numbers to drop sharply. Your DIC is telling pretty little lies right now.
