Rims and Tires

Okay need a little advice.

I am looking at getting some new rims and tires for my 05 FX4. Right now the factory rims are 18" and my tire size is 275/65/18. I want to go with an aggressive look. The rims I am looking at most of them have a offset of like 30-35. Should I worry about this? Also how big of tire can I go with, with out rubbing issues. I don't want to put a leveling kit on!

Thanks,

one

I'd suggest an 18x9 inch wheel with 5 to 6 inches of bacspacing and a 33 inch tire like a 305/60-18 (33x12.50) or 325/60-18 (33x13.00).

BS and offset are just two different ways of measuring the same thing. The wheels BS should be listed on the wheels website.
