Hey man, I think -20 will bring the tyre in from a zero offset. If the zero's fitted the -20 should fit as well.

Edit: got it around the wrong way, as you were.

From what I have read about a -13 would work good, a -20 will probably create firewall rubbing issues.

looks good enough, if something breaks you take it back or rebuild it stronger

With a 50mm lift the camber was about 1 degree positive which still performed well. 75mm lift might need camber bolts.

The offset as I understand is -offset makes your wheels sit out from the body and +offset pulls them back? Or have I got it wrong? Zero offset would surely sit closer to the body than -13/-20 or whatever? I dIdnt have trouble with offset on my last truck. Ill post some pics in due course.
There's an offset chart on here that pretty easy to read. http://www.readylift.com/t-tire-calculator.aspx

Thanks for the replys keep em coming. Cheers

Your thoughts on offset are correct. Also the further out the wheel sits the larger the arc it moves in. Hence my comment about firewall rubbing.
