Hi there guys,
I'm going to be getting some new wheels for the ride and a bit lost on just which rim offset to get. 1stoff this is what my goal is: min lift.....crank keys/green keys. Tire size will be toyo a/t LT 275-70-18 (aka 33" tall tire)
now here is the question I have about the wheels both off set and backspacing.
offset backspace bolt pattern
1.18x8.5 -6 4 1/2 8-6 1/22WD & 4WD
2.18x8.5 15 5 3/8 8-6 1/22WD & 4WD

Please let me know with 1 or 2
thanks

I just ordered mine and I went with the 4 1/2 standard backspacing. I think that will clear those tires fine as those are the tires I will be running on my truck as well.

Well if I go with the option 2, will the tires stick out futher and rub???

They will stick out a little further but I am unsure if they will rub. I will find out myself once mine are installed.
