Yeah I finally did some more research and I came to the conclusion that a negative offset if what we need. When I was reading about the wheels needed for my lift it says 5" BS is required and I was thinking I needed AT LEAST 5", but its actually NO MORE than 5". Which makes sense if you think about it. The more BS you have the more the lip of the wheel will stick out from the center of the wheel. If it sticks out too much it's going to hit something. So luckily I caught it before my wheels were shipped and now I'm just waiting back to hear from my guy to see which set I wanna go with. He seems to get the wheels at a discounted price so once I see some prices I'll figure out which wheels I'm gonna go with. -12 seems to be the most common offset for our bolt pattern that will work with a lift. The tires will stick out a little bit which is the look I prefer anyway.

Yeah the more negative offset the more your tires will stick OUT. Im not sure what the stock offset. I myself got some XD monsters 20x9 with +18 offset on some nitto's 35s and it did rub a bit on the control arm, had to get spacers. Hope this helps you, i think an -12 offset would be sticking out 1 to 1 1/2" my guess. Heres a picture of mine to give you an idea.
