I'd say go with offset that is as close to factory as possible. G.M. uses 31mm on most of their 20" rims and and some use 20mm, so somewhere between those figures should work out well. Any less and you'll have problems with only 2" of lift. I looked up Goliath rims and saw they come in either 0mm or 30mm offset so it would be nice to know which one he has and where they rub.

I'd say he probably has the 30mm offset then, ask him if the tires fit evenly or real close with the fenders. or better yet get a pic?

Stay around 25 to 30mm offset and I would go over 5" on the backspacing but no more than 5 1/2-5 3/4

Definitely the 30mm offset....factory is around 24mm.
The diference between stupidity and genius is that genius has limits.
