JDG24 2014 Build thread

I picked the wheels out at dealer and had them order for me and put on along with tires and leveling kit. I asked what offset they are and he said they were 0 offset and I have no rubbing issues at all. So, I would probably go with the 0 offset. I am guessing you are going to at least put a level kit on? If not, you may have rubbing issues. Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks!

jdg, Truck looks great. I've got a 14' CC on order in the same color and I'm looking at installing the same tires (undecided on wheels). Now when I am on the Gear website the only two options for offset on the 6-bolt 18x9 are +18 and and -12mm.. I'm not saying they aren't 0 offset, but there's a good chance they are +18. Another thing that is confusing is that it looks like the Chrome 726 is available in 18x9 0 offset.

I've been researching a lot whether a 0 offset, 9in wide rim, and 33x12.50 will work without rubbing and I'm doubtfull. I'm thinking of going with a +10-12 offset then seeing if I have room for a 0.5" wheel spacer.

Please correct me if I am wrong! If can go straight for the 0 offset I will.

I saw all of that also. I remember when I first bought the truck I asked him and he said it was the 12 offset. Later, someone on here was asking about the offset and I called back to ask what it was because I wasn't sure and that is when he said 0. This is what I went off of, his last statement. I never had a receipt to show what they exactly are because they put them on when I purchased truck. I don't think there is any way to know for sure. That's probably not helping you any, but that's what I know from what I was told. I was like you, originally thinking a 0 offset would rub but he said that's what they always use on the 2014's. Whatever they are the don't rub.

Thanks for the compliment and good luck with yours!

Awesome truck. Do you mind if I ask what kind of MPG you're getting running this tire/wheel set-up. I'm looking at similar set-up in terms of weight and wondering what the real world MPG people are getting.

Thanks

I drive about 95% city and with 4922 miles my lifetime is 13 mpg. It usually shows upper 12's with city. On the occasion I drive highway it's anywhere between 14.5 to 22 depending on wind and hills. Thanks for the compliment. I have checked this with entering actual miles and gallons and the mpg showing on odometer is always within a tenth. Close enough I trust it.
