Recommendations on wheels replacement - 2015 Silverado with Pocket Fender Flares

[Thatdude]

First time poster…. Long time lurker

 

I handed down my 2015 Silverado 1500 to my son last March, and it had a 7in RC Coilover/Shock Reservoir kit installed along with Bushwacker style pocket fender flares and 20in wheels with 35x12.50x20 wheels.

 

The wheels sit pretty flush with the pocket fenders.

 

unfortunately my son was hit by another vehicle in Oct and took out the front drivers side wheel and suspension.

 

its been a nightmare with insurance but they are finally starting the repairs today. Outstanding issue is that my wheel cannot be sourced to match, and there are no indicators on the wheel to show backspacing or offset.

 

insurance will only pay for one wheel, and I’m footing the bill for the other 3

 

anyone able to help me understand what backspace and offset I need to be looking at to get a similar flush look or maybe a .5in poke?

 

Considering your typical wheel brand like Fuel, Method, etc… same tires will be used (Toyo 35x12.50x20). I would switch to 18’s but I literally bought new tires two weeks before the wreck.

 

thanks in advance

not the best pics but what I could find for now to give idea

On the back of the wheel, look for ET followed by a number. That number will be the offset in MM. To measure the backspacing, lay a straight edge across the edge of the wheel and measure to the mounting surface.

Unfortunately I don’t have access to the wheel or vehicle. The shop doing repairs looked all over the back of the wheel and didn’t find anything

I’ve asked the repair shop to try and take some measurements from the current wheel. Reached out to customwheeloffset and based on pictures, they are thinking 0 offset is what is probably on truck comparing some other trucks they have in there gallery. Also remembered I have to account for the knuckle lift that pushes the wheels out about an inch and a half by itself.

 

hoping a member here has a similar setup and can comment on their wheel size and offset

I went with replacement black wheels from Chevy - 18" same offset as stock, but they weren't cheap (probably less expensive than other options, perhaps, though)
