New Guy needs help with offset for CCM 2.5"/1"

[Jtessmer88]

Hey guys!
Just joined up here to get some help with me 2007 tahoe. Decided to level/lift it with the CCM kit and replace my worn struts and shocks all at once!

My factory wheels are chipped/peeling/nasy .so I'm going to be replacing them at the same time as the lift install.

I really like the look of a 305/50/20 on these trucks...just very confused as to what backspace/offset I need to run. I want an "aggressive" stance..but i don't want half the tread outside the wheel well. I'll do some minimal trimming if needed to.. The wheel I'm very much in love with is the KMC addict

Thanks and sorry for the typical new guy questions.

Ok so you want aggressive but not outside wheel well, that means high offset or close to factory. They make that wheel in 20x9 with either +18 or -12 offset. +18 puts it almost at stock maybe a 1/4" towards outside. -12 puts it about 1/2" outside fender edge. If you want that wheel and aggressive look then you need the -12. Trimming should be minimal but either run 305/50 or 295/55 tires

Thanks! The more i think about it I need to go aggressive. I don't want to spend $2k only to regret them looking terrible. I wonder how far out I can go without major trimming.
