Default Wheel question

So here is my question in its simplest form. I have a 2.5 inch level on 295/60/20 terra grapplers and am about to order new rims. I want a wheel that will fit with the level and with a 6 inch lift when I do that later on.

Will a Rim with -12mm offset fit with my current setup(2.5 level on 295s)

All responses will be appreciated.

Depends I believe all lifts are diff but most want 4.5 back spacing and if the rims 9" wide then yes -12 will be 4.5 back spacing 10" you'll need -24 mm offset

The offset rims will only make it worse unfortunately

It's the size tires your running with the level that are going to be an issue with the offset for the lift... I'm going to run 285/66/18'a with 4.5 back spacing with my level incase I ever decide to lift my rims will still work
