I think I've figured out my rim / tire setup
looking at a 20 x 8.5 rim (38 offset)
tires: 235 / 30 / 20
its only 1/2 inch taller and not even 1/2 inch wider.
Its not getting too aggressive so I hope it'll work without any mods.
2006 is250 awd
not lowered, no fender work.
Im ok with having to heat up the liner and push in if needed, and even a small spacer if needed to clear the calipers.
does this sound like it would work?
any suggestions (besides the obvious... you need to slam it on staggered wheels)
Thanks

^ if you're not lowered, your proposed wheel/tire specs should fit fine. you won't need fender work either, since those offsets are conservative enough for clearance.
on the other hand, i don't understand why you're proposing 235/30-20 instead of 225/30-20.
225/30-20 is closer to oem rolling diameter than 235/30-20, but to each his own.

didn't want to start a new thread, and you guys are the experts with lining wheels up...
i just need to decide what size spacer to go with in the front.
unfortunately, these wheels only came in 8 and 9.5 widths with the choice of +25 or +40, so i'm running 19x8 +40 and 19X9.5 +40. ideally, i would have liked a 19x8.5 +40 in the front or 19x9 +40 in the back so they are more in lined with each other. anyway, the back is almost perfectly flush IMO. i'd like the front to be similar...

this will effectively push out your front wheels to +25 offset, which will have the very similar frontspacing as the 19 x 9.5 +40.
you shouldn't have wheelwell clearance issues at your current ride height either.
hope this helps.

(edit: since Mv350 has chimed in on tire sizes, i'll defer to his suggested tire sizes)
btw, the 1" lowered ride height shouldn't affect clearance, since you'll have a consider amount of suspension travel before your tires touch anything.

i was actually deciding between 5 and 10 mm spacers but wanted the unbiased feedback. i'll go with a 10 at least, but now you got me thinking about a 15...
thanks for the input!
