Default Fuel Deep Lip Octane

I'm interested in getting some of the deep lip Fuel Octanes D509 and have a few questions. They offer them in -12, 1, and 20 offset. I'd like them to sit a little bit more outward than the stock 18s on my 2012 4x4 now. What offset should I go with? Looking at getting the 18×9. Truck has stock suspension, might get some bilsteins in the future to raise the front an inch or so. Also the tires I have I'd like to use on these rims are 265 70 18. Would these be fine to use on the 18x9 rim? Does anyone have these rims that could throw up a picture? Thanks in advance.

I was super confused by your title. I clicked on it thinking it was a fuel related question and you may have had a stroke while typing.

oh sorry didn't know deep lip was fuel related. No stroke just had a check up 2 days ago, resting heart rate is 42. Thanks for the response anyway

Thanks alot, those look good. Thinking about these or the fuel beast. The color of the beast would look good with my truck being silver.

These are 18x9 +30. A +20 would only stick out a little more and +1 would be a little more than 1" further out. Stock tires too for now.

Would a +1 have a deeper lip than a +20? I think a +1 Would look good, but would probably make the truck dirtier quicker.

The more negative the offset, the more lip you will have. Yes, a +1 will have a deeper lip than a +20. You will have to get a negative offset to get a deep lip, but the wheels will stick out quite a bit from the fender. As the offset gets more negative, the mounting surface of the wheel is being pushed back further in the wheel cylinder (toward the inside of the truck), making the outside of the wheel push further out.

Here is a pic of my Fuel Hostage 20x9's with a +14 offset. The +20 offset will sit inward just slightly more than these. The lip on these is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep. Hope this helps.
