Default New rims question

Im looking at getting a set of 16x10 rims and they have -32 offset. is that a good or bad thing if i plan to run 315/75/r16 treadwright guard dogs? i guess the question is will they stick out too far? or in to far? be hard on the hubs? i don't know much about rims oh and i'm getting a 3" body lift to go with my 3" top gunz lift.

"Offset" refers to how the wheel is centered over the hub. "bs" or backspacing also determines how far the wheel is going to stick out.
Usually 16x10s have about a 4 inch backspacing, and you'll probably need all 6 inches of lift to keep from having scrub steer.
Any extra unsprung weight contributes to wear and tear on hub bearings and front end components.
IMO, any rim that which doesn't have all its specs is pretty dubious. I would avoid any wheel with under 4 inches of backspacing.
