I will be ordering new wheels soon. I want to get the right offset. I plan on adding pocket style flares. So I need the right offset for the wheels to come right to the edge of those. Anyone have the numbers for this? I am going to use the stock 17 size since the tires I have are just about new. exact size in my sig. Any help would be great. If you also have this setup and can post pics, that would also be great..

 

I believe The pics are in my album I had 18x9 with 4.5" backspacing they stuck out about 2"

 

I don't know what type of stock rims you have, but on my 06 screw they were 20" with a +44 off set. If you look in my album you will see my truck has fairly radical stance those rims are 18" with a-12 offset. 17,18,20" that doesn't matter so much that is just your own preference. What you want to look for in a rim is the offset. When you look at a rim think of the center of the rim as being 0 any thing to the outside or face of the rim as being a +# and any thing to the back of rim as a -#. The off set is where lug pattern in relationship to the 0 of the rim. Just figure out what your stock rims off set is most likely it is a +30,35,40 some where in there and any thing lower than that # will make your wheels stick out farther than stock.

 

thanks RPM i never did really understand what the offset was

 

2". that would work well with pocket style flares..
