18" and 20" wheel question

Alright my truck has a 2.5" drop in the front and a 3" drop in the back. Now I might go lower in the back to 5" or so by pullin the two center leafs. But I want to get a nice set of wheels but no one around here can help me out. I need to ask u guys, with that drop in mind how wide can I go for wheels that won't rub tooooo much and what offset am I going to have to get, keep in mind im still leaving it 6bolt. I'm looking for 18's and 20's....with out having to change lug pattern are there wheels out there I can get? Enkei's RT6 wheel looks pretty nice and I've seen a set of 17x8 on a mazda and i'm not sure if the 20x9 wheel will fit without rubbing,and it has a 12mm offset the 17's are 0. Any help would be awesome, Thanks!

12 mm offset aint gonna work.

i've got 18x7's on the way with a +39 offset

Just put some 15x10's with no offset on there like the old days, sittin' fat.

So If i wanted to fit a set of 20's on i would most likely want a 40mm offset?

Or better yet what do I even need for an offset to put any aftermarket wheel on? If an escalade wheel fits fine what is hte offset on a escalade wheel?

Escalade and Denali wheels have a +31mm offset

Escalade and Denali wheels have a +31mm offset

they are +37 7.5 inches wide according to the hollander exchange.

See the other post for an explaination of offsets and backspaces and what you need for 2wd and 4wd sheetmetal.

If you look at the back of any wheel besides a billet wheel it will say ET:#
The # stands for your offset.

no, they are +31. I have denalis and it is marked on the back of the rims

ok then, the 17" escalades are +37, because thats what I looked up.
