Re: backspacing/offset
If your gonna wheel the truck then you want the tires to tuck in a little bit. Also depends on how wide the wheel is too. I had a truck that was 6" lift and 35s, 10" wide and I think 4" b/s, and when wheeling in a hard spot the tire would rub the fender a little.

Re: backspacing/offset
Almost any 20" wheel offset and backspacing will fit on a square body. If you look at my avatar picture, you'll see that I'm running 17" KMC XD series wheels. They have pretty much the same offset and backspacing as most of the newer wheels you see on the market today. My 37's clear with miner rubbing off road with my 6" Tuff Country lift.

Re: backspacing/offset
