Default new mags wheels???

im about to buy new mags because stock one gives me vibration at braking when i use wheel spacers. im using 2x 0.5'' one over the other in front with very minor rub.

so ultrawheels like blown's one exept i dont like drifters probabely gonna go for nomads or maverick black 16X8 +10 offset what you prefer?

and blown what you think about your mags quality? do they center properly do they need centering ring?

I personally like a simple wheel. Alot easier to keep clean, so I like the Nomads. But either one will work. Do they make a 0 offset? That is what Trucker is using with his 33x12.5's with no rub. I'm just wondering with the +10 offset if you are going to get a bit of frame rub. If you are running 1" of spacers on the front then you have 0 offset right now. +25mm offset stock wheel with 1" spacer = 0 offset.

yep, i run a 0 offset, but that is with a 9'' wide wheel and 12.5'' wide m/t's, the tires get very VERY close to the frame at full lock but no rub, so i have them pulled in as far as they can be with out frame rub and best fender clearence, but IIRC you are running 285's so you may be able to get away with a little offset but it will be close

from what i have learn with the conversion chart backspacing of
16x8 with +10 offset is almost the same offset as a 18X9 0 offset
and maybe 16x8 +10 will stick out more because +12 would be perfectly egal (5 inches of wheel backspacing) so the nomads should have around 4.80 of wheel back spacing refer to this chart

https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html

0 offset on a 8'' wide wheel should wave 4,5'' of back spacing wich would cause rub on fenders??? am i right?

i would say go with the 0... atleast you know you will have frame clearence, and worst case, you may have to trim some plastic but i dont think you will
