I have an 07 NBS duramax and am looking at getting different rims. I'm pretty interested in a set of xd hoss 18x9's and would run a 325/60 nitto terra grappler. My question is which offset should I go with. I have a choice between -12mm 4.5" BS. or +18mm 5.71" BS, and I dont want my tires to be stickin to far out so I'm thinking I should go with the +18, but I do like the look of a deeper dished rim. My pickup has a leveling kit in the front, and I have airbags in the back. I would appreciate any info anyone would have, and if sombody has pics, that would help to.
Thanks

That tire is 33.5" OD.
You'll be hard pressed to make it fit with a 2" lift.
Not to mention it is 13" wide too. Be prepared to do some cutting!
The positive offset will be closer to stock. Those tires/wheels will hang out HUGE if you go negative off-set.

Love this truck....HATE the fuel economy yea yea, I know it's a truck, and YES I want the same mpg as a Civic
Ok thanks. Right now I am running 17x10's with I believe -12 offset, with a 285/70-17, which is 1.5" narrower, and a little over 1/2" shorter than 325/60-18's, so I figured maybe if I get a positive offset rim, I could go a little bigger on the tire??? Right now my tires will rub slightly when turned all the way.
Thanks

+18 is close to stock!! If i remember +25 is perfect (stock). I still see it hard to fit them, but with the correct trimming anything is possible

An offset close zero I would think would work and im runnin 305/70/r17's right now with just the tbars carnked and those are bigger than the ones your lookin at. I think you wont have a problem clearin them. Also since your lookin at 18x9's i dont think having a negative offset would be that bad. But I think with that positive offset you could clear them no problem

Alright thanks alot for your help guys. I would probably be better off with the positive offset, but I like the look of a deeper offset rim and am worried it might look funny if I go with the positive. We'll see.
Thanks
