.
OEM offset should be 44mm | 1¾"

However, the OEM rim width is 7½"

You'll need to pay attention to backspacing.

I'm still kind of confused when it comes to Offset also. Even with the diagram. I'm looking at getting wheels but using my current tires also. Eventually replacing the tires with 33's. Most the wheels i have been looking at are around +12mm and +30mm.
