Best 20 inch wheel width, backspacing and offset for 37s

[Judd]

Looking to pick up a used set of beater wheels for winter use . They need to work well with 37s as I have a couple of used sets. I'm wanting to try studding the tires for ice.

I bought my Gladiator used and it has a set of 20" Fuel Vapor wheels. I looked them up and it looks like they are offered in three sizes-

• 20x9; 35mm Offset
• 20x9; 1mm Offset
• 20x10; -18mm Offset

I'm not at my Gladiator right now so I'm not sure which option I have but I'm thinking I have the 20x10 -18mm offset as the 37x12.5s I'm running have an almost straight sidewall down to the wheel. I would figure that wide of a tire on a 9inch wheel would have some sidewal bulge. They stick out a good bit and rub a bit at full lock especially when off roading even though I'm on a 3.5 lift.

If there is a better size combination that would work better with the 37s I might regulate the Fuel Vapors to be used with the studded tires.
