Aftermarket bumper? Because they are all hideous

I know i have not seen an after market front bumper i like. I got a magnum rear bumper that matches the truck squared lines real good but the front low profile ones are pretty ugly..... Theres no chance of returning the wheels to custom offset either........

Sell the wheels and go to a 20x10 wheel. No aftermarket bumper is going to look good.

Is that really a 12.5 tire on a 12 wheel? The tire looks like it has zero sidewall overlap.

I would measure the tire in the opening and see exactly how much it hits by. And is that number a small amount. then move the tire back. May be a option?!?

Adjustable suspension ?!? Just thinking outside the box. 

New tires even same brand but little smaller?!?

Any fab shop can easily cut, weld, grind, and paint your bump. Now one could tell the difference and your happy. Black is a easier and cheaper color to paint.

jesus just trim the bumper go on youtube and google a norcal custom offsets show you how to do it or take it somewhere and have it done!!! and  I guarantee the custom offsets descripton said there was slight trimming. im running a 20x10 with a  -25 offset  with a 275/65/20 which Is basically a 33x11.5  and im stock in the front and dropped 3 inches in the rear I had to trim the fire wall side of my wheel well. I know it said there was slight trimming because ive looked at every offset with all the different heights for the past year and a half.

Also mentioned by peekaboo - not that big of deal and fixes your problem. The stuff on custom offsets looks cool but it's not the best information. That's why they always qualify "it worked for them but may not work for you" in the lower statement on the pictures pages.  A lot of people deal with some lame set ups and tell everyone it works and it doesn't. Willie nillie set ups are no good.

 

Just cut and trim where you have to and you will be ok. Find a shop that knows what they are doing if you can't do it yourself. Once it no longer rubs you can enjoy it, just follow through.

 

Now you know why most -44 set ups are on 7~9 inch lifts. (and they still rub) With Custom Offsets you would think -44 is no big deal, but in reality it's an extreme set up that takes extra mods.
