Default Rim question

Okay so I'm stuck between getting fuel hostages 18x12 -44 or a moto metal 18x10 -24. Anybody running either like one more than other?

Wow those 12" wheels with -44 offset will really hang outside the fender.

Just based off of the math, I'd go 18x10. It will stick out of the fender an inch or two without looking like a damn tractor like the 18x12 with the -44 offset.

I kind've like the sticking out the fenders stance. I was thinking flares would maybe help not make it look so bad.

You won't find a flare that covers up like 6 inches of over hang.. 1.5" at most. But go for it if u like it!

I yhink its only about 4.5-5" more than stock with 12" -44. But that will kill your ball joints etc. The others would only be about 3 more than stock. There are some bigger flares for our trucks on ebay too. They will help with that and some are pretty nice flares.
