Hello I have a 2019 Tahoe, stock suspension however I’m looking into dropping the rear in order to level the car. I recently installed some fender flares and because of this I want my wheels to stick out more to match the flare. I really want to stick with the 22” wheel look. Can anyone tell me what the stock offset is on my trucks wheel? And also recommend me a wheel that has a lower offset so that they will stick out to be flush with my fender flares? Is it even possible? Thanks in advance. Here’s a pic of the wheel I have and you can see the fender flares there.

Here is a site you might find useful for determining how much farther out different offset wheel could potentially fit. It’s not vehicle specific but it’s enough info to give you an idea:


I believe your ‘19 OEM RST rims are 22” x 9” +24 offset.

Dont over complicate it. Nothing wrong with taking a vertical straight edge placing on the new EGR flares then measuring the distance from your stock tire sidewall to the straight edge. That will give you a rough idea how much farther out you want your new wheels to be.

If I had to guess you’re probably going to be in the range of a 22” x 9.5” +10-12 offset. And the stock 285/45/22 tires will be fine on 9.5” wide rim.

I have the size @CMoore711 mentioned with a +35 offset but no flares. They stick out about an inch. If you like your wheels you could use a spacer instead of new wheels.

Ok sounds good thanks for the info. So if I’m understanding correctly if I were to go with your recommendation of a wheel with a +10 offset let’s say then since my oem wheel has a offset of +24 I’d be gaining about half an inch plus the new wider 9.5 inch rim my tires would stick out about an inch more?

I thought the more positive they are the more they go into the car how come they stick out an inch?

Whoops, hit the wrong symbol. They’re negative 35 so they have a pronounced lip. Here’s a pic with my old wheels but same offset.

Your wheels should have the size and offset molded into the backside of the rim. Pull one and look.

I’m having trouble finding wheels that would stick out enough. When I go on rimsntires and carid all of the 22x9.5 wheels they say will fit my Tahoe are 22x9.5 +20. If I understand correctly that would only make my wheel stick out about .4 inches more than it does right now. Is that the most I could do with the stock suspension?
