Hey im looking at some wheels and it has a -12 offset. i want my wheels to stick out of the side of my truck a little. cause i like the look. and i was wondering if anybody here had some wheels with -12 offset and i could see how much it sticks out?


Heres a pic of the rims im getting.

 

I have 17x9s with -12mm offset. I'm looking for flares for it.

This is the closest pic I have of a profile view:

 

yea i can kinda see a difference. do you have any pics of the side of your truck? and what size tires do you have on there??

 

What's the backspacing? Need to know both backspacing and offset to figure out how far they will stick out...

 

285/70. 2 1/2" level kit.

 

Offset: -12mm Backspacing: 4.56

 

Almost identical specs as my wheels. This should give you a general idea of stance with 12.5" wide tires:

 

okay awesome, looks good.

 

what wheels (brand/modle) are your rims Hammer? Also, since I'm probably going to be in the market myself for some new rims what if I want them to stick out a little farther? is the lower the number backspacing the farther it sticks out? Also, since im planning on going with a 35x12.50 should I look for a 10 inch width rim or is 9 still ok? I was told a 12.5 on a 9 in width rim would make the tire sit tall and wear out faster in the middle, is that true or was the guy blowing smoke? I dont know squat about this stuff, but Im freaking thankful you guys are out there.

 

The guy don't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground. Ideal specs are the tire should be 3" wider than the wheel, with 1" + or - being in spec. My wheels are Mickey Thompson Classic IIs, nothing fancy, relatively inexpensive aluminum wheel with a very good strength to weight ratio. Size is 17x9, either a 9" or 10" wide wheel would be fine.

My tires at 30k miles, I think they are wearing just fine:
