    Sup everyone. New to the community and getting into trucks. So please excuse my newbish questions.


    What is the stock offset in mm for the truck for both the front and rear.

    I'm looking to get a 15x3.5 and a 15x8 and run as a daily setup.

    What offset do I need to get in both rims in order to be as flush to the fender as possible. I don't want to poke out, I just want to be flush.

    Also what tires sizes and diameter size is recommended? I don't want to run a really big rear. Just mid size tire. Trying to save weight as much as possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    0 offset 4 inch backspacing should be around what you want. I run 205/65/15 on 15x7.

    Appreciate the response bro. So zero offset on both the front and the rear? What tire size would
    Be good for a 15x8 rear? Again no poking out just a flush fit. The front tire I'm looking to get is about 25.4 inch diameter. So trying to get the rear no taller than 26 in. What do you recommend?

    You have to keep in mind that some guys here have 4x4 front fenders which allows a few more inches clearance for wider rims and wheels. This is mine on 0 offset 15x7 with 205/65/15. I think you can clear with 15x8.
