    Rough Country Level,
    Done lots of research here, and I'm curious what most of you are doing. I have the TRD Sport with upgraded 20 inch wheels 20x8 +60mm offset and they are almost flush with the outside of the truck. I am bumping tire size up just from 32" to a 33.3" and dropping down to 18 inch wheels. Most of the wheels I was able to find are +25mm offset which puts the tires about +35mm further out which would be an inch or more outside the truck.

    I ended up going with a 45mm offset wheel which I"m not in love with style, but trying to keep the tire in the fender wells as much as possible.

    Are most of you running with them sticking out an inch or more? If so; how do you keep from having the side destroyed with rocks from front wheel while on gravel roads.

    My last Dodge truck I moved the spacing to place the tires a few mm outside of the wheel well and I ended up with paint chips down the side of the front doors from things getting tossed up.

    I know the fender flares would solve most of that issue, but I like the look without them on the Cavalry color.

    Welcome from NY.
    Fender flares would be the only thing to protect from rocks.

    I’m in the same boat. I have a 2020 TRD Sport and can’t fibd any decent wheels with 50-60 offset. I think the stock offset is near perfect. I don’t like any poke. Everything is in the 0-25 range which will poke 1-2 inches

    Well these seem to be exactly what I was looking for, and turned out being way more aesthetically pleasing than I expected.
