How does this fit sound Wandell?

Looking at some 20x8.5 Boss 315s (what do you think of these) which have a 40mm offset, same as the Eagle 026 like yours I believe. Looking at possibly going with these an some terra Grappler 305-55s. What do you think? Think it would look good without the wheel sticking out much? Also looking at Moto MT100s, same size that have 30mm offset. Looked good on another members King Ranch with those wheels and the Nittos listed above.
BTW what does 30mm or 40mm = as far as BS? Thanks as always.

If you go to Eagle's website, they will give you the backspacing as well as the offset. Keep in mind wheel width affects offset.

The Boss 315s are the same BS and size as the Eagle 026, 20x8.5. The Boss wheels are similar in design as the Eagles but there is a groove in the middle of the spokes. I like the look, not to street not to blingy I think. I thought they would look good on 305-55-20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Sooooo if they are same as the Eagles like yours and I go with the size Grapplers I mentioned there should be no rubbing issues correct? FYI I have the 2" Bilstein 5100 in the front. Thanks.

Wandell, I looked for the BS on the 20x8.5 Boss 315 and the website says 40mm offset and BSM (is the Back Space Metric?) is 6.262. Is that decent or are they going to stick out?

BSM (Back Space Measurement) is in inches. The bigger the number, the less it will stick out.

Aaaaaah I see now what it means. So 6.2 BS on a 20x8.5 should be pretty good then?

Right. They will stick out about 1/4 or 1/2 inch farther than your OEM wheels.
