Default Got zero offset wheels? please post them here

I'm considering some Method 17" wheels, but they're only available in zero offset, i don't know what that will look like, but i'm fairly confident that's a lot of poke, nearly an inch, but Stage3 seem to think it'll be "flush"

Can anyone post their 12th gens with zero offset wheels? or even close to that offset so we can see how far out they extend?

Honestly, at this point, i don't care, i'll be wanting to run a 285/70 on it, but i'm having a real time trying to work out where a zero offset will put everything. I wouldn't normally have the problem, but i've found a little conflicting info, including info that suggests an 18 x 9 wheel with a +18 offset will sit about the same distance out as a 17 x 8.5 wheel with a zero offset. I don't know if that's true or not, it doesn't make sense to me.

Edit. I was turned around that kinda makes sense. The positive offset will tuck into wheel well more. So just keep in mind the - offset will be pushing out.

I always get it confused myself, to me its backwards. The positive should mean it's going out more but what do I know

Thanks for posting those, i hadn't realised they were there - and whilst there aren't really any direct 'down the line' shots, it's fairly clear that a 285/70/7 at zero offset, pokes far less than i thought or calculated it to do, in fact it's the 12.5" and 315's etc. that poke to the extend i imagined.

Now i've "talked" this out, it's a little more clear - between the two example sizes i gave, there is half an inch (12.7mm) to shift around, though i still can't work it in my head where that would go to on the wheel (which side of the center) when moving from an 9" at +18 to a 8.5" at zero.

Default zero

i believe mine are zero offset, and i have bushwhacker pocket flares on wheel wells and with that said i know i dont have any tires sticking out further than the flares. Its been a.minute since i last bought tires, but thats whats in my head anyways. cant really tell good here but if you look real good you can see they dont stick out. heres a pic of us @ Fork with my old screamin chickin commanche ranger 250 yami.. theres a reason why they called those a.screaming chicken...

Here's a great visualizer that I use a lot:
https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/

It helps you picture where the width is going.
