Maybe you're starting around the wrong way? surely you'd choose rims to suit your tyres?

Well i thought it will be better to get the rims first then finding a decent set of M/T for it other then my stock rims with all terrains on them, but if you think it will be better by doing it the other way round then maybe i should look in to doing that.

Thanks

It's only that offset is normally a function of the tyre size you intend to run - offset is really all about trying to prevent the tyres hitting the chassis/shock mounts etc.

at -13 the inside edges of the rims will be in the same position as standard, but the outside edges will be 37mm further out than stock.

at +3, the inside edges of the rims will be 17mm closer to the chassis, and the outside edges 21mm further out than stock.

Most people would recommend -13.
