With our trucks the way the fenders bulge out you have to have a lot of offset to get them to stick out. I have -36 and still want a little more lol

Do you have any pics looking down the Side of your truck so you can see the offset?

Just remember that you have to watch wheel width too.
8" wheels with a -25 offset will stick out the same as a 10" +0 and a 9" -12.5

They all stick out 5" past the hub surface.

So what is rim back spacing? And how does it differ from offset?
