Hey folks!
I have been looking *drooling* on wheels now for a few days, and I want to end up with something that makes me happy.
I do NOT want a wheel that sticks out (meaning sticks out beyond the flairs. I have found the Helo black's in a 20X10 with a -12mm Offset. Trouble is, I have not a clue what offset I need to be looking for. Any ideas?
Here are the stock sizes...Wheel size 17x8.5
Wheel offset +18mm / 5.5" rear spacing. Do I need to match the offset with aftermarket 20's...and if I go 20, the wheel is 2 inches wider...acks...wtf Let me know what you all did...and toss a pic up.

ROFL!
I really thank both all you guys for helping me figure these things out.
I cannot wait! I will be making a purchase after the first of the year I think!

Did you have rubbing with the 37" tires? I am thinking of going with 37" tires. You are not, or were not running a lift right?
thanks!

I am planning on 20" rims with 35 tires. I am also keeping my stock wheels and putting BFG mud terrains on them for hunting season.
Not sure if I can get away with a 10" wide wheel, but it looks promising.

Yeah, I wanted the 20, but the whole X10 thing makes me feel it would stick out of the fendar quite a bit.

For the Moto metal I like here are the stats:
18x9 with a -12mm offset (4.5 inch backspace)
If I go 37 X 12.5 I think that would look pretty good, and will not rub. I am not doing a lift at this point...and not sure i ever will.

OIC...
I have never really put too much thought into it before, and I am pretty anal with the way I would like to have it. I suppose I can toss some bigger flairs on it if I need to. I see rodster did something like that.
maybe I will end up sticking with a damn 17 and some other tires. I just like the look and feel of slightly larger rims. (18"-20")

Factory wheel backspace is 5.5" so the 12.50 tire will, theoretically, stick out 1 more inch. But even with that extra inch hopefully you'll still be under the fender.
Man, I'm sooo glad my days of figuring all this out are over! Makes my head spin!
I agree with TX, this will be a sweet setup.

I might go 37's, and now I will have to let them stick out if I do that I am sure. I will probably have to get the flares

That USA Havoc is a dead knock-off of the Weld Velociti (what I have).
Stomp, you still have the pics I sent you of how much my tires stick out (37x13.5 on 18x10 wheels), right?
