- What's going on, guys?
It's Dustin with Custom Offsets.
And today we've got a pretty awesome video for you.
So we get asked all the time, what is the difference
between like a nine wide and a 10 wide and a 12 wide,
or even a 14 wide wheel?
So we thought that we'd actually put it together for you.
And we're gonna show you real life examples
of a nine, 10, 12, and 14 wide wheel
on my truck behind me here.
It's a 2007 Chevy Silverado 2,500 HD Duramax.
You guys have seen it.
We did a build series on it.
It's got a four and a half inch BDS lift kit.
So like I said, we have wheels and tires in here
for all four wheel lists.
The tires are either gonna be 33s or 35s,
or a variant of that,
like a 285/55 for example.
So it's all gonna be pretty consistent
in terms of overall sizing,
but we're gonna actually tear into this thing.
We're gonna start with a nine wide.
We're gonna show you what a nine, a 10,
a 12 and a 14 wide looks like.
So you guys can get a good idea
of what the actual offset differences are.
Now, before we do that, I gotta remind you guys,
if you need wheels, tires, suspension,
performance parts, accessories, bumpers,
lighting, all that good stuff.
We have it all at customoffsets.com.
Also, we're giving away a SEMA truck.
It's pretty freaking awesome.
It's huge.
It's a big F350, and we're donating
to the Warrior Built Foundation, which is super cool.
You check all that out.
Tap on the link down below or customoffsets.com/giveaway.
So with that, let's get my truck pulled in.
We'll rattle the nine wides on it,
and we'll get started.
(upbeat soft urban music)
All right, guys, so we're gonna get started
with the nine wides behind me here.
But before we do that, I know someone's inevitably
gonna comment down below, oh, the set is different.
Or, oh, he's wearing a different t-shirt.
Yes, we got rained out yesterday.
So we're working through that.
However, I've got the set of nine wides
mounted on the Duramax behind me here.
So if you guys wanna follow me in,
we'll take a look at it a little bit.
So this is a 17x9 set of Anthem Intimidators.
So paired with it is a set of 285/70 R17 Kenda Klever RTs.
One of the hottest tires we've seen this year to date,
and this one guys is gonna come out to be
about 32 and a half by 11 and a half wide, give or take.
So this is actually Brad's set of wheels for his Duramax.
And this is the look he's going for.
A really functional really off-road look.
So when you look at this nine wide, guys,
you're gonna notice that when it comes to offset
right, to poke, you really don't have that much.
You're talking four, four and a half inches
somewhere in there.
So not a ton of poke on this setup,
obviously because that nine wide has such a low offset
that it's tucked in there really nice.
This one actually scared the hell out of me.
I backed my truck out of the shop before,
and for the first time I could see my exhaust tip
in my rear view mirror,
which I've never been able to see before
'cause I've always been on 14 wides.
And I actually stopped and got out and checked
because I thought something was broken.
So we did that, but we're here.
So again, this is what a nine wide is going to look like.
That nice tucked in profile.
If this is what you're looking for,
definitely gonna do the job for you.
I get full lock turn to turn no issues with this.
And yeah, just a really good super functional looking tire.
But that's enough out of this one.
Let's roll this thing back in the shop.
We've got a 10 wide to go on it here,
and then a 12 wide, and then a 14 wide.
So there's a ton to go yet.
Then we'll talk about them all once we're done.
(upbeat soft urban music)
(upbeat dramatic urban music)
All right, guys, so after a quick wheel and tire change,
which maybe wasn't so quick, but you know, we got it done.
We have the 10 wides on my truck.
This is a 20 by 10 set of Anthem Equalizers.
And if it looks familiar, it's because it is.
When I first bought my Duramax,
this is the very first set of wheels and tires
that we put on it.
So it's 20x10 -24 Anthem Equalizers.
One of my favorite wheels in the Anthem off road lineup.
Paired with a 285/55 R 20 Cooper Discover AT3 XLT,
which is a whole fricking mouthful,
but it's their all-terrain tire.
One of my favorite tires.
Does fantastic.
I drove it all winter in the snow last year,
and it absolutely crushed it.
So enough about that.
Come on in, let's take a look at it here.
Let's actually dive into the offset
and see how it looks on the truck.
So again, a 285/55 R20.
It's about 33 inches in diameter,
a little short at 32.4, I believe.
And about 12 wide.
So really a nice stout tire,
10 wide Anthem off-road wheel minus 24.
One of the coolest things about this wheel
that I absolutely adore is that not only
is it only a 10 wide, but it still gets you
from the center of the spokes a solid
four and a half inches of lip.
So for a 10 wide,
this is gonna be one of the most
aggressive wheels you're gonna find.
Those spokes kind of dive back a little bit,
and it gives you another half inch worth of lip.
Really makes this wheel look a lot wider than it is.
In terms of offset, right, that you can see,
six and a half, six and three quarters, somewhere in there.
So a little bit wider than the nine wide we looked at,
but not quite as wide as a 12 wide
that we're gonna look at here in just a moment.
So, super cool look.
Again, a little bit more aggressive.
It does look a little small in my truck
with the four and a half inch lift,
but when this truck was stocked,
it cleared almost entirely from the factory
with just this little bit of bumper trim.
So if you're looking to do a little trimming,
not looking to lift your truck any,
a 10 wide may be a good option for you.
Again, just in terms of the Silverado.
Everyone's gonna have a little bit different fitment.
So that's enough out of this.
We're gonna roll it back in the shop again,
slap some 12 wides on her, go from there.
(upbeat urban music)
All right, guys, so we got the 12 wides
on the truck behind me.
These are a 20x12 Anthem Liberty
paired with a 35, 12 and a half R 20
Land Spider Wild Traxx MT.
One of the most popular tires we've seen in a long time,
and a really cool wheel.
So if you guys wanna follow me in here,
we'll kind of check them out a little bit.
So again, this is gonna be the Anthem Liberty.
Super cool wheel.
It's got this nice concave face.
And in a 12 wide, you still get a couple inches of lip here,
which is actually one of the coolest designs for wheels
that I've seen in quite some time.
So you're gonna get about three and a half inches of lip
on this 12 wide, plus all the concavity.
Big center cap looks super cool.
Again, 35, 12 and a half R 20 Land Spider Wild Traxx MTs.
So here's the cool thing about these 12 wides.
It's gonna give you a solid six inches of poke
outside of the fender well.
Now again, you're gonna hear me say this
again, and again, and again.
This is a Cadillac Silverado, so it's gonna be
a little bit different for every wheel setup
you guys put on different trucks.
But on this one, you're gonna see
it's gonna give you about six inches of poke,
which is quite a bit more than the 10 wide
or even the nine wide we looked at earlier.
So there's that one.
We're gonna get this back in the shop.
Now, guys, we're actually gonna take a look.
We're gonna rattle these off,
and we'll put some 14 wides on it,
and see how much poke we've got going on with that.
(upbeat soft urban music)
(gentle calm music)
So behind me, after one really sweaty wheel change,
because it is cold but hot today.
It's really weird.
I sweat my, yeah.
Anyway, we finally put the 14 wides on my truck.
So behind me is a set, my set, of 22x14 Fittipaldi FTF13s.
They're unpolished.
Don't judge me.
They're a little bit dirty right now.
Just got back from Gatlinburg,
and yeah, 1,500 miles is a lot.
Anyway, on them is a set of 355/40 R22 Nitto Trail Grappler.
So that's Nitto's mud tire.
Of course, a 355x40 comes out to a 33.2 by 14 inches wide.
So it's a really, really square setup.
So if you follow me on in here,
you can see how absolutely beefy this thing is.
Like, it is...
I've seen square setups, but this is like square.
Like, it is massive.
When you take the tape to it and look at it
here from the edge of the fender or the bumper here,
you can see we have roughly 10 and a quarter,
10 and a half inches of total wheel poke,
which is fricking wild.
So again, 22x14 minus -76 Offset on these guys here.
So it's really gonna push that wheel and tire out.
And because the 14 wide is gonna be massive out here.
So it's fricking wide.
It's really huge.
These tires are a little dirty.
I suppose I could've cleaned them up for you,
but don't judge me.
It's like October 13th at this point.
It's spooky season.
It's kinda cold.
It's dreary today.
So this is the 14 wide.
It looks fantastic.
And honestly, I think I'm gonna run this setup for awhile.
I'm a huge fan of this.
This is a setup I wanted when I built the truck.
So, absolutely in love with it.
(upbeat soft urban music)
All right, guys.
So let's wrap it up here.
Let's take a look at the actual
side-by-side comparison of the nine, 10, 12, and 14 wides.
So I'm gonna have the guys put the image
up on the screen here.
So when you start, you can start all the way
on the one side.
You can see the nine wide there, right?
Really narrow, really tucked in.
We know that.
We saw that on the actual truck itself.
And even during the install, we saw how much more
tucked in that nine wide was.
Now that's because of two reasons, right?
Number one, that wheel is so much narrower
than the 10, 12 and 14 wides,
but also it has a much lower offset.
Meaning that the center of that wheel
is gonna be closer to the actual mounting location
than some of the other wheels.
Now, as you move up in here,
you're gonna see that when you go
from the nine to the 10 wide,
that you get a little bit more poke,
and that's partially because you go up to a 10 wide,
but also because you're going to a minus 24,
which is unique to those Anthem Equalizers
that we put on the truck there.
So a little bit deeper of an offset, right?
A little bit more negative, which is gonna push that wheel
a little bit further out of the truck.
Then as you move up to the 12 wide,
you go to a minus 44 offset, which again,
you're gonna see that wheel stick out farther, right?
And it's a two-fold instance here
because you're dropping off set.
You're going further down by 20 millimeters, right?
So you're pushing the center of the wheel
out 20 millimeters farther,
and you're going up another two inches to a 12 wide,
and that tires a 12 and a half wide as well.
So it is a little bit wider.
When we go up to the big boy set up, right,
the 14 wides on the 355/40s which is absolutely insane.
Very square.
Looks super cool.
That setup is gonna have a ton of poke
It's gonna have the most that we looked at.
And again, two reasons.
Reason number one is because that wheel
is a minus 76 offset, meaning it's gonna push the wheel
out even further than the minus 44, the minus 24,
or that 17x9 which is super, super close to zero.
In addition to that, you're also gonna see
that 355/40, which is really, really square.
And it's gonna give you additional poke on the outside.
I hope this really helped you guys
take a look and actually visualize
what the different offsets
and different wheel widths look like.
Again, quick disclaimer,
it's gonna look different on every truck.
The newer Silverados, for example, are really tucked in
compared to my Cadillac Silverado.
It depends on which lift kit you're on.
If you have narrow and wide track width.
However, the offset differences
aren't going to change to the mounting surface.
So for best results, we do recommend
actually measuring on your truck and seeing
what's going to physically fit.
