Dial in your stance.

Drop the offset, widen the wheel, and watch the tire push to the fender line. This is the same math our fitment techs run before a single lug nut turns — so you know it clears before it’s bolted on.

/ 01Fitment, in plain English
Offset
Distance from the wheel’s mounting face to its centerline. Positive pulls the wheel in toward the suspension; negative pushes it out for a deep-dish, aggressive look. Measured in mm.
Backspacing
Measured from the mounting face to the back lip of the wheel. More backspacing tucks the tire toward the frame; less brings it out toward the fender. Tracks directly with offset and width.
Width
The barrel width in inches — a 20x10 is a 20-inch wheel, 10 inches wide. Wider wheels need lower offset to clear the brakes, which pushes the tire outward.
Bolt pattern
Lug count and circle, e.g. 6x139.7 or 8x180. Must match the hub exactly — we verify it before anything gets ordered.
/ 02How it’s mounted
Mounting
Touchless / lever-less tire machines so the bar never contacts the barrel. No curbed lips, no scratched faces on a $4,000 set of wheels.
Balancing
Road-force balancing on a Hunter machine simulates the load of the road, finds the stiff spot in the tire, and match-mounts it to the wheel. Kills vibration a static spin balance leaves behind.
Torque
Lugs torqued to spec in a star pattern, then a re-torque after the first miles — never the rattle of an impact gun walked down to a guess.
Alignment
Every package finishes with a precision alignment. New width and offset change the scrub radius; we reset toe, camber, and caster so the truck tracks straight and the tread wears even.
/ 03Highway vs A/T vs M/T
Highway / HT
Tight tread, quiet on I-49, longest life. Best for daily drivers and towing that never leaves pavement.
All-Terrain
The do-it-all. Open enough to handle gravel, mud, and a little trail, civil enough to stay quiet on the highway. Typically 40,000–60,000 mi with rotation.
Mud-Terrain
Big aggressive lugs that clear Louisiana mud and bite on the trail. Louder, softer compound — roughly 25,000–40,000 mi. Built for the swamp, not the commute.
Rotation
Rotate every ~5,000 mi to even out wear — off-road compounds especially.
/ 04Common builds we run
Lifted truck
20x10 −18mm on 35s — the classic CENLA stance. Lower offset and a wider wheel poke the tire to the flare; usually needs a lift and often a fender trim or flare to clear at full lock.
Daily / tow
20x9 +18mm on a 33 A/T — flush, no rub, factory-smooth ride. The setup most leveled trucks run.
Deep dish / show
Forged wheels with low or negative offset for a concave, deep-lip face. Fitment is tight by design — we measure twice.
Your build
Tell us the truck, the lift, and the look. We’ll spec the offset and width that clears.

The short version: lower offset and more width push the tire out toward the fender — great for stance, but it has to clear at full steering lock and over bumps. That’s the whole job: get the look you want without the rub. Use the Fitment Lab above to see where the tire lands, then we confirm it on your actual truck.

Frequent
Questions.

How do I know what wheel size fits my truck?

Our fitment specialists will measure your bolt pattern, offset, and backspacing to recommend the perfect setup. We ensure zero rubbing at full lock and maintain proper suspension geometry.

Do you offer wheel alignment after installation?

Yes. Every wheel and tire package includes a precision alignment to factory specifications. Proper alignment extends tire life and ensures safe handling.

Can I finance a wheel and tire package?

Absolutely. We offer flexible financing options that let you drive off with a new setup today and pay over time. Ask us about our current programs.

How long do off-road tires last on pavement?

All-terrain tires typically last 40,000-60,000 miles with proper rotation. Mud-terrain tires have a shorter tread life of around 25,000-40,000 miles. We recommend rotation every 5,000 miles.

Do you mount and balance tires purchased elsewhere?

Yes. We are happy to mount and balance tires regardless of where you purchased them. We use a Hunter Road Force balancer for vibration-free results.
