Rim offset

[LFD132]

What do I need to know about the offset on after market rims with our trucks?
I am looking at a set that are -12. What dies that mean exactly?

Offset

The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.

To compare the effects of changing the offset and width of your wheels use the

I run +1 a +12 would stick them in 1/2" more.

This is making my head hurt. lol I'm looking at a set of XD rims 20x9 that have a -12 off set. That should make them stick out correct?

You first posted a +12 offset that would stick out 1/2" less than a 0 offset. But now your saying -12 that would stick out 1/2" more than a 0 offset. The offsets are in millimeters. The photo in my last post is hard to tell but the tire tread stick out about 1".

This is a pic of my trucks wheels. Tires are 33x12.5x20. On fuel hostages 20x10 -24 offset hope this helps

That looks more like a +24. If it was a -24 and they are 10" wide they would stick out 1.5" more than my 9" +1 offset wheels. Your's don't look like that. But they do look to be .5" less or more than mine. Which at +24 it would be 1" less than mine but add the .5" and your .5" less than mine.
