Okay, I found what appears to be a really good deal on a set of 20x8.5 American Eagle Alloys in the superfinish. They have the 8x6.5 bolt circle, +20mm offset, and 5.475 B.S. I know that this offset and B.S. topic has been talked about alot, but I am still unsure of how these would fit on my truck (i.e. track increase, rubbing, trimming, clearances). What are the "most ideal" specs on offset and B.S. to keep the track and clearances closest to stock as well as look good on the truck? Any help is appreciated.

IF I went with these wheels, I was thinking of running a 305/50/20 tire.

Thanks.

I have the exact eagle wheels with 305/50/20 nitto terra grapplers and they fit perfect, no lift , no bars cranked and no rubbing. I had the eagle 114 with neg 1 offset but sent them back for the 20 mm offset. the 20mm to me are perfect in the front they stick out maybe 3/4 inch. I installed a 1/4 spacer on the back to line them up. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for the info...it's exactly what i was looking for. Do you have the superfinish or chrome wheels? If you have any pics, I'd love to see them.

I had the eagle 114's on my last HD with the -1 offset and they stuck out bad in the front. I was running a 285 50 20 tire. I'm getting ready to order these wheels again with the +20 offset and a 305 50 20 tire and would love to see some pics of your truck with this offset and tire size. Thanks.

Can anybody tell me why tey make the 20" wheel in 8.5 and the 18 in 9.5? The 9.5 seams to fit the wheels better.
