I would personally do the 'Lucy', as they would look too 'sucked in' w/ more BS, unless running a narrowed front track width, ala Dropmember. 5.5 is a good compromise for clearance on both sides and looks good too. Could prolly do a bit more up front, like 5.5, but then you start losing the 'fat lip' and start looking too much like a late model wheel

All that to say- I wouldn't change it
Thank you for the detailed reply.
This is the kind of "wheel offset" info that helps everyone looking to buy wheels.
You also took a cool wheel and made it so much better!
Love your truck.
