Offsets question
Does a higher negative offset mean a greater chance of rubbing?
I want to run 35x12.5 on 20x10 on a 6 " lift and the offsets are 24 or -18.
I would think -24 would mean not as much rubbing because it sticks out more so not as much tire is in the wheel well? But I think I'm wrong?

A negative offset causes the outside edge of the tire to contact the front crash bars while turning. For instance, wheels turned left will cause the passenger tire to contact front passenger crash bar and vice versa.
i have a zone 6" with 20x10 -19 and slightly contact crash bars at full lock or while backing and turning the wheel on a hill. Judging by the contact being made, it would require a 0 offset or less (higher positive number) to clear. You will without a doubt rub with anything greater than -12 on a 10" wheel.
