Default New guy, Wheel problems.

New guy here, i have a 2000 silverado z71 4x4, white regular cab, 4.8 5 speed, love the truck all together but im sure just like the rest of you on here i wanna do some customization to it. I am currently in the market for new rims and just found the set that i want to get but just hit a small bump in the road. I just realized idk what the heck i am looking at lol. I am going to do 18'' rims and a small lift, but back to the wheels....i dont exactly understand the whole "offset" portion of it all. I know the difference between positive and negative offsets but what i dont know is what can i go with and stay safe without having to cut and trim anything? The options they give are ( -12, +12 & +25 ) all with 6x139.7 (which is the correct bolt pattern right??) I hope i haven't gotten off on the wrong foot but starting off with so much right away. But thank's in advance for any info!

I take it the wheels are a 18x9? And what size tire do you want to run? Do you want the tires to stick out any or be tucked under? And yes that's correct bolt pattern.

Yes they are 18x9's forgot to throw that in. I would like for them to stick out a little not so much that it will mess anything up, i would like to do all this and keep suspension stock if possible and not have to cut anything. The tires that i found and was thinking about was 275/70/18.

Also, i had someone tell me that i could fit 20's on there stock with a set of 275/55/20's is this possible? Sorry for so many questions but i am eager to buy all this but then again i wanna make sure i know what will work before hand, dont wanna spend the money and it not fit.

With no lift, you could run the 18x9 +25 offset and that tire size you want, but that'll be the only way. And yes you can run the20s on that size with no change in suspension.

I recently put wheels and tires on my truck, I found H2 wheels on craigslist that were 17x9 with 5.5 back spacing, I put 315/70/17 on them and it looks great, the tires stick out flush with the fender flares, Filling the wheel well. If your looking for a full wheel well go with atleast a 9" rim, and do like a 305.

A question I have, is do you do any type of off roading? If you don't do a lift then you are going to be all rim and if you take a hard impact it could damage them.

A 305 with require trimmin or crank on the torsion bars to clear them. Especially on the wheel he has picked out.

Thank you all for the info, i have been on a couple other forums and obviously haven'd had anything but smart *** comments back, hence why i am here now. Another question to throw in, 33-12.50-18's, would that be a possibility? Found a pretty good deal on the tires and was wondering if they may fit ok?

Yes it could be, depending on if you want to trim just a tad of the lining on the inside. But I think that wheel should be fine as its offset is pretty close to stock
