Hey Guys I was looking to see if any of you have any experience with 33/12.5/20 on a leveled truck?  I am looking at getting Fuel Maverick 20x10 with -24 Offset and I have the 2" Rough Country leveling kit.  There is a truck on custom offsets that seems to be running this combination and report that they have no rubbing or fitment issues just wanted to get some second opinions!  Thanks guys!!

It will rub the rear of the front fenders. I had that setup with a 2.5 level and ended up ripping the plastic protector off the drivers fender.

What do you think the biggest I could go without rubbing with those wheels?

I have this set up your looking at. 

No rub on any fender. Only the sway bar at full lock I may get half inch spacers to take care of it. But def no rub to the fender.

X 2.  Have no rub with 2" front level.

No if, and, or buts about it. With a -24 offset on a x10 wheel and 33x12.50’s with only a 2” level... You will definitely have RUB!

Maybe I'm understanding things wrong but the higher negative offset means less backspacing means the tire is moved out further from the truck right?  Wouldn't that make it less likely to rub?

No way a 20x10 with -24 is not going to rub with that tire size. Your max size tire would be a  285/55/20 and with just a 2" level that would likely rub also. 

I ran 10x20 -19 with a 295/55/20 with 4" of lift on my 2013 GMC and had to do a large Nor Cal. to clear the inner fender.

On my 2018 with a 2 1/2" level, I was running a 285/60/20 on a 20x9 0 offset and rubbed the inner fender quite hard until I zip tied the liner back and trimmed the plastic flap.

A 20x10 -24 wheel has a 4 1/2" backspace.

Perfect! I got 17x9 -38mm pro comp wheels. And a pre runner front bumper. Should clear 33x12.5 nicely!

front has a 2 inch level rear is stock.

The rear will work fine.
With the -38 wheels, not yet installed, on a 2" level with 33.8x12 tires, keep us updated.
In my experience, you're gonna have issues.

Yeah I ordered 305 70 r17 (33.8x12) -38 offset. Wheels and rims will go on together. Hoping the prerunner gives me enough clearance. I did the math with the width gain about 1.2 inches but the rims pull it out 1.45 inches so I’m still negative .25 so I’ll keep in touch once I get everything together! Should have everything by Friday but I want to order tpms. Found them on eBay for 50$ matched the part numbers so that’s cool. Online they’re 25-50$ per. lol 

I have heard of people running 36x12 on a level. Ive also read the newer trucks have slightly larger wheel wells.

I'm running 35x12.5 BFG ATs on a 3" level (with Motofab controll arms) and a 1.5" body lift along with a 1" Bilstien shock lift.
That's 5.5" (rears are a 1" block lift and a 1.5" spring lift, as well as the 1" Bilstein shock lift.)
My 35s are close but the Bilsteins help control the articulation.
My wheels are stock +24. With -38 wheels on a 2" level, you'll be hitting the rear of the fender, maybe not the front since you've already modified the front of the front fender, I guess, with the prerunner bumper?
If you haven't, you will rub.

Yes they do - 2019 and beyond, excluding the LDs.

I guess we’ll see. Should I throw on a block lift on the rear? I’d only do an inch. But I guess we’ll see. I do believe we’ll fit.

yes pre runner front bumper. I chopped the plastic to the metal.

I guess we'll see. With a 2" level, you don't need a rear block. I did the rear 1" block and 1.5" spring lift because I hate a squat. Again, in my experience, if you want to stay out of trouble, a 2" level won't work well on -38 wheels with a 2" level.
I hope you have a different experience.
It took me a long time to get where I am today, next, it's a true 7" lift with 37s but that will be next year - I'm happy at the moment.

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
