Default Need help with wheels

Well I'm getting a 5" rcx lift kit with 35 12.50 17 mud grapplers and 17x9 rbp wheels.. I know the bolt pattern is 5x135 but I'm curious what offset to get? There is +10, 0 , -12, -25 and I have no idea what to get.. Can anyone help me out?

+10 will only push your wheels in farther. If you have 12.5 inch wide tires then they will probably still out two inches or so.. I have just 265 75 16 with -19 offset and the front sticks out about an inch, the rear about flush with the wheel well cause its a flare side. With yours, I think it'd look good with 12.5s and -20 or so offset. Or you could just get a 10 inch wide rim and with your tires they will stick out pretty far whether there's a low offset or not. If you want to look like DHG on here with a 14.5 wide wheel, then get a lower offset. It looks sick but he has a different set up anyway. Hope this helps

Oh my yes haha they're gonna stick way out. Don't get -25 if you don't want them to.. Especially with 12.5 in tires.

I would go with -25, but I think a wide truck stance looks BADASS
