I've done a lot of reading, but still don't "get it" when it comes to picking the right offsets, or understanding what it means "staggered" specifically (I thought that meant 2 different size rims front/back, ie 18vs20) or wtf about "lip"? Also, I know what tire size descriptors translate to, but I don't have a clue about what that translates to an ACTUAL sidewall height (does everyone just do real math?!?).
If I told ya'll what I want, can ya help me get there?
I don't know if I really want 20" & I don't know if I really want a big drop via lowering. I've already ruined my exhaust tips parking in my own driveway dragging twice a day. I want to be able to drive my car without having to plan my route just to get in/out of a parking lot! I drive everywhere.
On the other hand . . . I *REALLY* love the look of a wheel filling up the wheel well. Either very minimal or no gap at the top of the wheel. One of my favorite looks on a Silverado:

Although, I'd like more rubber! (That's what she said) I don't want a pencil thin rubber band wrapped around them. I'd like it a lil shorter than the sidewall height of the stocks 255/50/17, but not tiny.
I like the TT2/338s chrome.
What combination of tire + rim + springs + shocks gets me there? I will see if I can find a pic of an SS that sits the way I like. (I've been on this forum for almost 10yrs, but never memorized all the details!)
