Wheel Offset

[bigblue]

i am going to be putting 24x9.5 wheels with 305/35/24 tires. I was wondering what offset everyone was running? I dont want my wheels the be sticking out of the fenders

To tuck, or atleast break even, the front tires (which stick out more than the rear even stock) under the fender with that type of tire you will need anwyhere from a +35mm to +40mm offset.

thats what i was thinking +35mm, also this will work with like a 2/3 drop or 3/5 drop right?

 

[Modded]

Yes it will work with those drops.

cool thats what i thought, what setup would you use that i could be able to pull a trailer with a yamaha rhino on it? Whats the difference in doing the spindle drop vs a spring drop in the front?

If you plan on pulling anything I would say use spindles up front, and coils out back because its your only choice haha.
But I would also say with the 2" drop spindle, run a rear 3" or 4" coil max, 5" is too much for towing and not very comfy.

I have 20's, but 35mm BS and 2/3 drop, plenty of room.

is the 2 inch drop spindle on the front going to make the tires stick out further than the rear? , the reason i ask is i use to have a f150 with a 7 inch spindle lift on it and i had to put wheel spacers on the rear of the truck so the front and rear tires looked even.

No it won't, that is an issue with lift kits only because the spindles are so much bigger. They also have to increase the track width of the truck so it can properly clear bigger tires if they are installed when turning and what not.
Stock, the front tires stick out more than the rears on these Tahoe (Prob. about 1/2"), and it will remain like that with the 2" drop spindle.
