    I'm trying to make the same decision. I've found my wheels (ok it's between these and texas edition wheels), now I've got to find some money.

    Anybody purchase the 16" or 17" with -10 offset? I am curious how they look and fit. I have about a 2" lift with total chaos UCA and want to make sure they will not hit interfere with anything. I want the negative offset so they stick out further and look good with bushwacker pocket flares.

    The -10mm offset option should be a great fit with your lift and flares.

    Yes the -10 will stick out about .4" further than the 0mm offset. Either one will work.

    Considering these rims. Just wondering where I can purchase a different center cap. No offense but that 8 in the middle is killing me. Thx

    The trd center cap from the fake bead lock wheels is supposed to work. It's like a brushed silver with the red trd in the center.

    That center cap is what has stopped me from pulling the trigger. Trying to decide if I can paint it or wait for a change. Should be a cheap and easy fix for DT.....

    There are no other cap options available (besides the TRD cap noted in the OP) that work with the MK6. They can be painted though.

    A 17x8 wheel with a -10 offset = between a 4" and 4.25" backspace.

    A 17x8 wheel with a 0 offset = 4.5 backspace.

    I thought that the lower the backspace the more tucked into the fender well the wheel would be? Im just trying to understand. Wouldnt the 0 offset stick out further?

    Lower offset/backspace wheels typically push out away from the suspension and towards the fenders. Check out the write-up we put together on this subject.
