Help with wheel off-set/backspacing

[Idahoktm]

I'm going to remove the stock 22's from my 2021 Laramie, add a leveling kit, and install 305/55R20 tires with a wheel that is yet to be determined. The truck in the pic below is almost exactly the look I'm going for, but I would rather have the tires flush with the wheel wells vs sticking out one inch. What off-set/backspacing do I need? Thanks!

Not great photos, but here’s what 305s look like on +1mm offset wheels. Flush to very slightly aggressive. -12mm would stick out half and inch further.

Perfect! I was just looking at those exact wheels today, but didn't have time to ask which model they were. Thanks to your signature, now I know. Those wheels in gloss black will look awesome on my Night Edition Laramie....thanks again.

Okay, I think I'm going to get the Fuel Blitz wheels in a 20x9+1 off set. I'm just not sure about the color. My truck is a Night Edition, so gloss black seems to be a no brainer but then I saw these today. They have machined edges in a bronze color with a matte black tint. The bronze color seems to match the Granite Crystal Metallic. Any opinions?

These are a great match for your ride. That looks sharp!

The Fuel Blitz wheels are backordered until some time in June. As a result, I continue to look at different wheels. The Blitz wheel is a similar design to the MB TKO wheels I have on my Tundra...probably why I'm comfortable picking that wheel. I saw this wheel yesterday and now I think I'm going to change wheels. I haven't been able to find any members on this site that are running this wheel but I did find a few on Custom Offsets.

In my first post I said that I wanted the tires to be flush with the wheel wells, but I didn't realize that the tires on my Tundra stick out 1" from the fender. My tires stick out almost as far as the blue Ram in the pics below. I actually like the more aggressive look.

After going back and forth with Direct Line Wheels on eBay, I negotiated a price of $939. An hour after I made the purchase, Discount Tire was finally able to get a price for me. They can't get the Wicked brand from their normal distribution channels, so the price wasn't even close...$1352.

I bought 4 Mopar OEM tire pressure monitoring sensors for $74 on eBay also. Discount wanted $60 per sensor.

I like doing business with Discount, so I'm glad I was able to get a good price on the 305/55R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. The Ridge Grapplers and Wicked W903's should be a good looking combo. I'll post pics after they are mounted.
