I just purchased a set of Venomrex 602 wheels and Cooper 20X12:50 STT pro tires. I was stoked this set up is lighter than stock but after getting them on I just don’t love the look and want the tires to stick out a bit more.

Just saw a truck locally with this exact Fuel D711 20x10 -18 and fuel gripper xt tires that I loved! But it’s around 23 pounds per corner heavier than the setup I have now.
Will it be a big downside with the weight being higher?
Will the new setup work without rubbing?

At full compression, the wheel has to go inside the fenderwell.

If it sticks out, it will just conveniently remove the fiberglass fenders for you.

Yes, companies will gladly sell you wheel and tire packages knowing exactly what kind of truck you have and knowing that if the suspension fully cycles as its designed to, it will cause parts to fly off your truck and even cause a momentary loss of control.

Picture is from this video, but the truck in picture is totally stock.

23 pounds per corner heavier is HUGE!!!!!!!! Look up "unsprung weight".
That is what I was afraid of. Do keep in mind though I do not off-road this truck at all, I have a rzr and dirt bikes for that.
Even for street use do you feel the weight will make a huge difference?

I appreciate all feedback so far, not surprised with what I’m hearing. Also keep in mind I do not off-road the truck at all.
It looks like they also make the wheel in a 20x10 +1 offset which seems like might be a better choice.

I just went the opposite route and dropped about 13lbs per corner. Truck feels way better, quicker acceleration, slightly better braking and lighter/quicker turn in. Adding that much weight per corner I would imagine make the truck feel awful.
