10mm offset in front and tucking? Are you serious? Unless you are getting narrowed A-arms then yes I can see you tucking. My front FWD wheels are +45mm offset and they tuck good but body dropped and any SLIGHT turn of the steering wheel they rub!!! I'm looking to narrow my front A-arms like 1/2" once I decide to get around to it. And again that is with 18x7.5" wheels with +45mm offset fwd wheels. As positive as you can get!!! My guess with 10mm offset your wheels will still be about 1/4" or more outside your fenders. I definately would not go any other wheels up front other then +35mm or MORE!!!! Rear end you can do whatever cause you are planing to narrow. My rear wheels are 20x9.5 with like a 10mm offset. Why I narrowed almost 10inches. More specific info on my vehicle page.

nic where the hell have you been?

Hibernating!!! Been busting ass working on double manpower and training new people at work putting in 16hr days Mon-Sat. Did take a couple days off during the holidays. I haven't been posting much on here. Thought I'd throw out some advice on dakotas since I pretty much did all the above on my quad cab, hell 2 years ago I think is when I busted ass on it? I need to get some time and work out some imprefections on it and get the bitch completely done! Oh well, I like the jaw drops at the lakes when I drag with my boat behind the truck!!! hehehe

i have 14mm offset now i didnt know about offsets but i guess i had it backwards so 30mm is better and easier to tuck ???

yes, 30 is easier but you will still need to narrow the frount and rear to tuck. or you can look for back space on the rim. back space is how far the ring is set back from the center of the rim. on the kota, from the back mount plate of the rim to the out side lip of the rim you can only stick out 2" to tuck without narrow'n the frount and rear. that means if you have a rim that is 7 and 1/2" wide then the back space needs to be 5 and 1/2" ... that is what i have and it tuck's but still had to trim the inside lip of the finder.

ya but i have my fenders flaired about an inch in back and almost an inch in front and i cut out almost all the fender roll and my rims now tuck and they are 14mm offset so i think if im understanding this right ill be fine with some 30mm offset rims and still have room to spare
