The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - -6 offset?

I don't have a bagged truck so I'm not absolutely sure what is the best offsets/backspacing to use, but the lower you go with your truck, the more you will have to "tuck" you wheels in to avoid clearance issues with your inner fenders.

Seems to me that the guys that are "slamming" these trucks have to have a positive offset wheel.......think of it like this...The more positive the offset, the less "deep" the wheel looks.

I know the wheels you mentioned have a positive offset because the backspacing #'s are bigger than half the overall width of the wheels.

You need a "bag" guy to chime in on whether or not your wheels will work or not.
