Ideal offspacing for aftermarket wheels + offhighway driving

T?@\7

New member
Im still undecided as to whther or not to just keep the stock SE wheels or get some aftermarkets.... but anyways, what is the ideal range of offspace one would usually want? Ideally id love to keep the stock wheels, but they seem to be too much tucked to really comfortably fit 33x12.50's and im kind of nervous about wheels spacers so....

thanks for the info

Offspacing? Sounds like a combination of OFFSET and BACKSPACING, which are two different things.
Offset is the difference of the backspacing and wheel centerline. Can be + or -.
Backspacing is the distance from the inside wheel rim edge to the mounting surface.
I would think that the 'ideal' value of either would be the minimum required for a given wheel width and tire size to ensure suitable clearance.

17x8 6-5 1/2 (offst) 0 (backspc) 4 1/2

I dont even think that AR still makes that wheel, I just remember seeing them on a degadged silver SE i believ also on revo's. Ive always been a fan.
The welds are sick as hell, but i think around 2x the price.....

There really arent that many choices for wheels as far as trucks and suv's go it seems like, not nearly as many choices as say for cars. Too damn much bling.... thats why I really always liked teh look of the stock SE wheels, they shine like motherfvckers but dont have the negs. o chrome (weight, upkeep etc)

Lemme know what U guys think of those two, AND if anyone has or knows where I could find a pic of that truck with the diamond back wheels on it, Id really like to see it again .
Thanks
