Wheel offset?

Ok, I finally figured out this backspacing thing but now Discount Tire does not seem to know what that is. All they have is wheel offset. Soooo... if I put a 18" wheel 8.5" wide with 25 mm offset and put Nitto 325/60/18 on them, will I be ok?

Positive 25 or negative 25?

I am going to assume positive because there is no "-" sign in front of it. I just want to make sure I can fit these tires and wheels with a leveling kit without rub.

I found this link on here by doing a search the other day. It converts backspace to offset and lets you compare different wheels. I found it very helpful.

Hey thanks. That is a great site. However, I broke down and bought the Mickey Thompson Classic Lock from Discount Tire. I certainly did not get as good a deal for wheels and tires as petsn8ke but heck, it is just money....Guess that is what I get for living in SC where the 4 wheel dealerships are few and far between. I will post pics soon.

Get those pics posted jhndere! I have looked at those wheels and others with a street legal bead lock and have not seen any pics posted here.
