Backspacing and offset

ok so I want to get some new 18" rims. I also want to get a wider tire. I currently have 33x11.50 and I want to get 33x12.50. I want the tires to stick out at least 3" from the fender. What size rims do I need and what offset. The whole offset and backspacing thing kinda confuses me. Thanks for yalls help!

Subd?

 

I am subscribing to this thread for more information. I like the style wheel/tire setup you describe

 

Got any pics of your current setup? Seems to be a pretty wide stance already

I got 16" rims right now

 

Curious myself...

 

Nice truck!!!!

Somebody with the proper knowledge will chime in hopefully soon lol

 

Thank you! Yea I want to get adjustable bilsten shocks to lift the front end up a little. To level it out with the back. The custom front bumper and winch is making it sag a little.

 

You might want a coil with a higher spring rate also. Tons of great information and people on here!!!

 

From looking at some of these pictures it looks like she wants to get some rims with negative offset. Just not sure how much backspace will give her 3" extension outside her truck.

 

Exactly. The 'higher' negative offset on the wheel, the more "poke" you will get

 

Thank you! Yea I just got this truck last year and I had a 4x4 05 wrangler before and I customized it so I know a lot about jeep stuff but I have no idea what I'm doing with this truck! I just know what I want it to look like!

 

You need to get some stiffer springs up front! Haha. I have 887s currently and it still feels a bit stiff. However they are still pretty new and i still need to get a winch mounted. Hopefully it will soften up a bit more....

 

Exactly guys! I know I need a low BS and a negative offset just don't know what number I need

 

A 4.10" (8inch wide rim -10 offset) Back Space or 3.5/3.75" (if you really want it to stick out) Would probably stick it out what you are looking for. I had a 16x8 inch rim with a -10 offset or 4.11" Back Space with 265/75/R16 (10.4" wide tire) And it stuck out pretty nice. I would say 1-1.5inches beyond the fender flare. So with a 285mm or 295mm wide tire I would say it would get you close to what you want. Offset and Backspace kind of go hand in hand

 

Do you know the offset of the rims you have now?

 

Yea my jeep I had 16x8 " rim with 3.75" BS however I have a hard time finding that little of BS for an 18" rim

 

No I don't
