How to figure offset?

Size: 18X9
Offset: 10
Finish: Chrome
BP 2: 6X135

Above is the wheels specs to some Helo Maxx 6's in the 18's. What offset do I need to be 5.5 backspacing? Is this offset listed above close? If not what do I need? Sorry I don't know how to read that kind of stuff very well.

I am about to buy a set of 18x9 Helos for my 02 4x4 as well. I have done tons of research regarding wheel width, offset, and backspacing.

The 18x9 is offered in +10 and -12 offsets. I'll be using the -12 offset, which is 4.5" backspacing. This wheel will stick out 1.5" farther than the stock 17x7.5 wheel on my 02.

The 18x9 Helo with +10 offset is just under 5.5" backspacing (somewhere around 5.4" BS).

Sorry, but I forgot to ask where you are ordering them from? I've checked out tiresdelivered.com and 4 wheel parts, both are in the same ball park as far as prices go. The tires are what are going to cost an arm and a leg.

Tires Delivered had the best prices ($209 each), so I got my buddy at Discount Tire to match that and I'm ordering through them. I'm going to use a 285/65/18 BFG All-Terrain, those are $240 each!

I'm planning on running the 325-60-18's if I decide to go with the 18's.

Let me know how it goes.
