Re: New Updated Rim/Tire Fitment For S Trucks

wanting to run 18s or 19s on my 99 bagged ext cab..
Had 20s on rear with 35 tire and it rubbed the trailer inner fenders up top, was about a inch from frame..
Front is stock inner fenders with drop spindels..

What bs and offset do I need to be in between?
What size tires?

I really liked the way your black truck looked, but I wanna be able to lay frame still..
