I'm looking at the Fuel Pump 18x9 and they have 3 different offset and backspacing- 20mm offset 5.75in bs 14mm offset 5.5in bs 1mm offset 5in bs I would like about an inch or so to stick out from the wheel well but not too much more than that. One web site said I needed that 20mm with 5.75bs. But I have seen others run different.. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
I have fuels and I was told there +1 is like a -12 , I went with +1 and it sticks out just right! I had to trim a bit but I have 35s, hope that helps

Thanks.
I'm looking to purchase mine in the spring. I think I may look at the +1 offset. I've seen one other use that as well.
I appreciate the help.

Thanks,
I guess this may be the route I go. I like the look on your truck, that's what I'm looking for.
The web sites keep pushing me to a 14mm or 20 mm off set.

I had to trim a little on the valence so if you want to avoid that get the 14mm but it wasn't hard to do and you can hardly tell. I took a utility knife and heated it with a torch and it produced a very clean easy cut

Did you have to do any trimming in the rear?

Thanks for the info. I think that's what I'm going to get is the 1mm offset. I had thought about staying with stock wheels but I think the trucks look so much better with after market.

Check the fitment guide. There's a ton of great info there. It all depends how big of a tire you run.
