So I've been looking at possibly upgrading wheels on our Denali. I'm already in the process of upgrading tires and will be going with 305/45 r22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. (Suspension Maxx 1.5 level lift installed)

My main question kinda revolves around wheel offset. Stock wheel offset is +27 if I remember correctly, so anything close to that will obviously work fine but...... I happen to come across some wheels that I like but only come in -6 offset. Now I know that will basically make the tire and wheel stick out further then stock, in fact according to calculators it should be about 1.3" out further.

I guess my main question is, has anyone run anything close to this or have any experience with something like this or even close??? I just don't to go through the trouble and end up with rubbing issues !!

Here was the calculator I used,

Big thanks in advance!!!

If you do it will certainly at least require trimming. See if they'll make you the wheel with the correct offset and backspacing.

GMT900 Wheels:

20 x 8.5 have 31, 27 and 22 millimeter offsets. Backspacings of 139, 135 and 130 mm respectively.
22 x 9.0 have 31 and 24 millimeter offsets. Backspacings of 145 and 138 mm respectively.

I have a 16 Tahoe with 2" SuspensionMax and 22x9 +15 Trail Boss Replicas on 305/45r22 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s and I rub a little in reverse. I had the level set at 1" originally and rubbed going into driveways, etc.
