I just bought my Raptor...used 2011 (most amazing vehicle I have ever owned)

Question:

The guys I am getting my wheels from say I should have a -24 offset. I am buying 20x10 wheels with 35x12.50x20 tires.

I am trying to figure this out using your stickys and such...but I am admittedly retarded...and just need to know if this sounds right or if I am going to look quite hispanic? (no disrespect to my latin brothers)

Thanks Raptor Experts!

Keep it negative 6 or higher.. Stock is positive 34... 0mm offset gives aggressive look and is not hard on spindles or any other front suspension components..

the choices are -12 or -24....I have not done the perch adjustment yet...just trying to figure out how far these things will stick out...and if I am going to rip the fenders out

If it is 2012 or up with torsen front diff then you can not go top perch! Without going to top perch you WILL rub with anything over -6mm. 0mm is the widest offset if you still want to offroad and NOT tear up your fender flares.. If you are never going to use 4wd or offroad then you can put whatever size you want.. I suggest finding different wheels..
