Ok guys ive read till my head hurts and im still not sure i understand all of this. I want to run this wheel http://www.americaneaglewheel.com/images/categories/064.jpg

I also want to run a 275/60 tire. The specs on the rim are 20x10 -21mm offset and 4.626 backspacing.

Can the wheel guys tell me what kind of problems im going to have with these? I really want the deep dish look, but i dont want a ton of rubbing.
I dont plan to do anything more then a cognito leveling kit to my truck.
Thanks,
John

This combo should fit with some minor fender trimming. I have 305-50-20 on 20X10 -25 offset 4.5 backspacing. My complain is that they throw rock and mud on the side of the truck like crazy. Also remember the more negative offset wheel you have the hardest it is on steering and suspension parts. It sometime give me a weird feeling when braking hard like if one front wheel was braking alot more than the other. I have the deep dish look for sure but i will probably go with less offset for my next set of wheel. Same tires or 305-55-20 on 20x9 0 to + 15 offset or something like that...

I Have 20x8s with a 5.75 backspacing and 285/55/20s and they worked well.

Are you running the eagle 064? if you are then you have a -1 offset if your on 20x8s can you post pics of your truck with the rims?

Yeah having stuff thrown up the side of my truck wont make me happy its a black truck so i may steer clear of the -24 and run the -1 set.

Your truck looks really good, but you are comparing a NBS to my 04. Not even the same. Also have a + offset isnt near the same either. Im looking at a wheel with a -21 offset.
