This should help some

 

thanks for that link. so basically i need a -6 offset so my wheels will stick out 2 inches more on each side due to my bushwacker flares....

because i wanna go with a 17 inch by 8 inch rim

 

i cant find any 6.5 rims. only 165.1 or 170 8 bolt?

 

It's 6.5" inches which equals 165.1mm (millimeters) {6.5 * 25.4 = 165.1} for the bolt pattern for our wheels.

 

thanks kokalit.

 

so do u guys buy 4 or 5 rims? my spare is 17 inch and im most probably going to go with 17 Inch as well.

 

At the end of the summer will be time for me for new tires and wheel upgrade (going with 2008 H2s) I think. My spare (knock wood) has never been used. I have cranked it down only once it the nearly four years I have owned the truck. So I will acquire only four wheels and five tires and reuse the spare stock rim.

 

so how far out will the moto metal 957 stick out on my truck. they are -12 offset and 4.5 " backspacing and they are 17"by9" . i was told they would only stick out a 1" more than stock setup. is this correct?
