Wheels and tires sticking out...how much is too much? Pics please

I'm about to pull the trigger on some 20x9 wheels for my 06 CTD 2500. The offset is +14 (5.6 backspacing) and the tires are Toyo MT 35 x 12.5 x 20. My concern is that they are going to stick out too much and I'll have to resort to fender flares (which is another MOD that I don't have money for and would rather not do)
Anybody have pics looking down the sides of their truck? please add your wheel/tire specs.

thanks!!

I don't think fender flares will help a whole lot, especially with tires that big.

However, I have been known to be wrong.

Did you type right, they are +14 offset? They will stick out less than a negative offset. I had a set with a -15 offset that did not stick out very much at all, probably about one inch.

That setup is nearly as good as you're going to get. My 17x9s have +18mm offset, and with 325/70-17 Toyos mounted they stick out about 1" from the fender lip.

20x9 5.5 backspace. (just right for a non-fender flares set-up)
Toyo 35 x 12.5 x 20 (They are more like 13" wide)

Not sure what my backspacing is but my wheels stick out a good bit. I love the look but be prepared for a dirty truck and paint chips it makes a big difference from stock!

I have the 18x9 kmc diesel's with 37's, my tires stick out 2". I like the wider look and will be putting on my fender flares as soon as the painter gets done.

That amount of tire sticking out is perfect in my opinion, would a 17x9 with 5.25" backspacing and 6mm offset yield the same results?

They will stick out about 1/4" less.

I too am looking for a classic looking wheel that wont stick out to far. I like AE wheels, but alot of them are 17x10's and stick out to far. I like the KMC XD Enduro wheels alot also.

Just wanted to chime in and encourage everyone to post pics about there wheel/tire combo.

Thanks
