I'm looking at some new rims and have the option of having any offset from -25 to 0 and am wondering how far out i should go and what would be plausible without being stupid?
Planning on running 245/75 muds on them.
4.5in rear, 4in front with 3in bump stops.
Was thinking around -18 maybe? and running flares of course.

If the tyres are gonna be outside the wheel arch your going to loose a lot of up travel as tyres will hit the guard.

Whats wrong with the stock wheel options?

Yes they will be out of the guard but not as much to limit travel. I know 245 with -13 clears fine, maybe thats as far as you can go.
Stock wheels are 0 to no offset and alloy or steel. I'm just after some offset not fussed on what rims its actually on

Looking around for any that will fit the calipers. So far only ones i know that fit the gv for sure at Dick Cepek ones. Apparently a few of the allide rims fit as well

I believe stock offset is +5 on the GV rims. I'd say just go -13s because you know it'll fit.

If I'm not mistaken that's what the OEM Enkei alloys on my GV have cast into them - and yes - I am too lazy to take one off to check.
