Hey guys I am wanting to put some 20" black MotoMetal 959 with 33x12.50s, I am trying to avoid thin tires. I cranked the t-bars and am currently running 285s. What am I gonna have to do the get the 20's to fit?

Get the right offset and backspacing on the wheels. I have 5.75" backspacing and +25mm offset on my 20x9 wheels w/33/12.5R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I barely had to trim the lower valance and a very small part of the front inner fender well. I am 1" lower than stock in front, and 2" lower in the rear

I just mounted up 285/55R20s on 20x8.5 +12offset and had to trim a bit to clear almost full lock left & right. I'm leveled and cranked, but I don't think it would matter much since you want to clear the full radius of tire during the suspensions travel up & down for the small lift.

I like the metals and almost went with the 959s. I wanted the chrome and decided on 8.5s instead of 9s. I do like my Predator 8s though and didn't want an overly aggressive thread either - just lots of smooth mileage and a bit of offroad grip.
