    Question for you guys.

    Level 8 ZX rims
    17X9 6-139.7 -12 or 17X9 6-139.7 0 offset

    Which one would be closer to the rim below as far as sticking out?


    17X8.5 6-139.7 -6 offset (Guardian rims made by same company). I like how it sticks out enough. I got to see many pics as reference.

    Anybody know what the answer is? I bought the -12 offset for stock suspension on 2012 DCSB Prerunner. Going to run 265/65/17 for now.
    Thanks.

    -12 offset would stick out more. Maybe half inch or so.

    Basic math tells me about 1/2" but the but rim's width plays a factor too. I talked to Direct discount tires and they said the -12 would be closer to sizing of the Guardian rims.

    I believe the Guardians are 8.5" instead of 9". I wanted these wheels before. It will stick out about 1/2" for the wheels and depending on what size tires which will stick out past the wheels you're looking at about 1" past the fender.

    I have -12 offset 17x9's with 285's. It sticks out a little bit.
