20" Wheels on Lifted Trucks: Custom Wheels for Ford and Chevy

In today's truck market the hottest trend is putting 20x10 or 20x12 wheels with 35/12.50R20 tires on Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ford F150 trucks. Fuel Wheels and Nitto tires are really popular on these lifted trucks. Believe it or not, we often have customer's that ask us if they can put these big wheel and tire combos on leveled trucks. In fact, even a 4" lift is not enough to put these 20 inch combinations with 35/12.50R20 tires. For a 20x10 package with 35/12.50R20 tires a 6" lift is required for clearance. The Ford F150 with the 6" lift should fit this 20x10 package without any major rubbing. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with this 20x10 wheels package and 6" lift will still require some minor trimming (Trimming is required on the backside of the front fender liner and the bottom of the outer fender).

The same thing goes for the 20x12 truck rim package and 35/12.50R20 tires. These are run with an 8" lift and the Chevy Silverado will need some trimming in order to clear (with the 20x12 combination some trimming may also have to be done on the lower front outer fender to fully clear).

Here are a couple of pictures of a Ford F150 with 20x12 wheels and 35" tires. Notice the custom front bumper which gives extra clearance on this package.

Ram Trucks: Custom Wheel Offsets

The Dodge Ram 1500 is a poplular truck and one of the most popular questions we get are about fitment. Questions like: "Will the custom truck rims fit like the stock wheels?" or "How much will the wheels stick out past the fenders?". This article will outline and show how certain size wheels and offsets fit on a 2011-2017 Ram 1500 truck. The factory OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) wheels for the Dodge Ram 1500 will have a wheel offset between +15mm and +25mm depending on which trim package and wheel option you have. These wheels will tuck under the fender with room to spare. If you want your new wheels to fit like the stock wheels then you will want to search for 8" width wheels with the +15mm to +25mm offset or a 9" wheel with a +18mm offset. These sizes will stay tucked under the fender with room to spare on the 2011-Up Ram 1500, even if you don't have fender flares. Here is a picture of a 2016 Ram 1500 with 20x9 +18mm offset wheels. Y

What Type Of Lug Nut Should I Use?

Which style lug nuts should I use with my wheels? Many people have bought a set of wheels at a local swap meet, from a friend, or even an online auction and need lug nuts to install on their newly purchased rims. Or they want to replace their current lugs to freshen up the look of their wheels. Choosing the proper lug nut is critical. Also there are some wheel retailers that do not include the lug nuts with the wheels and sell them separately. At Wheelsforless we include at no charge the proper lugs for the wheels. Different type wheels use different lug nut types, and using the wrong type lug means the wheels will not be fastened properly and cause damage to the wheel, vehicle, or even injury if the wheel comes off the vehicle. First you will need to determine the proper lug nut seat type. Nearly all wheels have one of three lug nut seat types which are cone seat, mag with washer seat, and ball seat. Thankfully today's wheels rarely use the old mag and washer seat. Whe
