Default -12 offset wheels?

I tried to search and I looked in the tire and wheel fitment sticky and couldn't find these exactly.

I'm looking at getting wheels and I'm looking at a set that are 17 by 9 with a negative 12 offset i searched around online and it looks like it that offset would make the wheels stick out by about an inch from the fender which would be perfect because my floors are almost 2 inches thick but I want to confirm and see if someone is running this size and offset before I spend a bunch of money on wheels. Thanks

I wouldn't do -12. I went with 0 and it is perfect. Any more and i think I'd have more rubbing issues when turning the wheel. I think even +12 is good too.

What tires will you be running? This plays a huge role.

Do what? I don't think you understand offset. Try doing some reading.

I think my wheels are -12 or just a bit less and I run 305/70R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and have no rubbing problems, but I also have a 2 inch leveling kit.

I would post picks but for some reason it isn't letting me.

I'll be doing a leveling kit at the same time so that won't be an issue I've looked at pictures online they claim they have the setup I'm looking at but I don't want to drop 650 bucks on Wheels and find out that they had something else. I found a offset calculator in comparing stock to the offset that I'm looking at it sounds about right but I wanted to double-check with you guys and see if I could have someone show me some pictures and for what they have.


this is the place and the wheel I'm looking at getting. I'm having them custom drill the pattern because I have a 7 by 150 millimeter and the salesman that I spoke to "austin" who seems like a pretty cool guy double checked with the manufacturer and they confirmed that they can drill that pattern.

With that skinny of a tire you should be fine.
