Default Fuel Guage Black Machined Rims

Looking at pulling the trigger on a rim/tire combo. Fuel Guage Rims and 35" Toyo MTs. I have a 2.5" leveling kit installed and am not sure how the backspacing works. I want the tires to stick out a couple inches to give it a bigger/wider stance. Can someone give me the specs of rims I need to go with to get this? Thanks

A wider wheel with a more negative offset will cause it to stick out more. Be careful though bc when they stick out further you need more lift to clear them turning.

Exactly. The less the offset, the more the wheel will stick out.

With 35s?? I say you will have to do some minor trimming on the fender, but I could be wrong. Only one way to find out!

You will be close, minor trimming on your front lower valence and you should be good

18x9 6x135mm -12 4.50" backspacing

That is the spec of the rims im looking at. Will they make the tire stick out 1-1.5" for a wider more aggressive look? Im new to the whole rim spec and don't know much about it.
