255 is narrow.....275 is what i would go with if thoes are the only 3 options....an the rims i would stick somewhere between +10 to a -15 offset if it was me.

do the 4.53 backspace... the -12mm offset.... it will look better.... the other ones will sit like the factory wheel and not stick out at all
and run the 275 if those are the only tires you are looking at... but to be totally honest, I'd step up to a 20" wheel and run the 33x12.50 toyo M/T.... it will look better... just my .02
hOW FAR WILL THE ONES WITH THE -12 OFFSET STICK OUT. I HAVE A LIMITED BUDGET THATS WHY IM STICKING TO 18'S. DO YOU THINK I SHOULD GO WITH A WIDER TIRE THOUGH?

you should do a wider tire for sure.... are you looking at the M/T or the A/T tire? and the -12mm offset will stick out like an inch or inch and a half... the other ones will sit flush or inset a little bit
Im looking at the A/t tire.
Ok 1in or so is the look im going for.
