    ‘96 single cab… planning on a 3/4 drop. Can anyone on here PLEASE advise on wheel offset? Currently have 18” 2008 Mustang wheels but the outer face of the wheel lines up with the lip of the fender. What wheel width and offset do I need to clear the fenders?

    You can use sites like to enter the specs of your current wheels and any that you are looking at, or just random specs, to see what will fit better.

    Offset is going to depend a lot on how wide the wheels are and what width tires you want to run.

    Sounds flush and ready to go!

    This may be more about your tire size than offset if you have any clearance issue with a 3" drop, many guys run the Mustang wheels without issues.

    Go for a 25-25.5" diameter tire with the proper width for those wheels.

    I'd recommend the spindle drop and/or coils vs the bj flip to retain factory suspension geometry and ride character. Once your stance is set, then see how it all works together before going shopping for more wheels.
