What's the offset on the Dick Cepek rims? And where is it rubbing?

I know the AF gets a mid tour. where we get to take leave for up to a month. that's the only time we are aloud to take leave for the year that we are there. but I'm not sure if the army does that.

lol i should have explained this better! lol first i am in Korea my truck is in the states! and yes we do get midtour leave but i'm leaving here in 40 days officially as of today 11/20/2010 Korean time! I already put on the rims as you see in my pictures taken and put up back when i ordered the rims and my brother back home put them on! idk what the back spacing is...but he said he put them on and had to trim the mud flaps pretty much flat like the black undermat over the wheel in the fenderwell...cause he says fully turned the tire barely touches the black mat...so was just wondering. and

marcsnyder05 are you in Korea?

it is the offset of the new wheels, they stick out further, yours should be 4.5" (i thinks) there for have a longer swing while turning, i test fitted a set of 265/75/16 when i had my mickey thompson wheels on and there no way without a lot of trimming, i went with the 245's
