Moto Metal Wheels

Ok take it easy on me, this is the first time I have looked at getting a set of wheels for my truck. I have an '06 FX4 and was looking at getting a set of Moto Metal Series 951. The question I have is which one do I get. There are 3 different models.

1. Moto Metal Series 951, Size 18x9, Bolt Pattern 6X135, Finish is Black, Off Set is -12MM
2. Moto Metal Series 951, Size 18x9, Bolt Pattern 6X135, Finish is Black, Off Set is +18MM
3. Moto Metal Series 951, Size 18x9, Bolt Pattern 6X135, Finish is Black, Off Set is +30MM

I think I have the correct bolt pattern, but what is the defference in the offset?

do you have a leveling kit , plan on lifting ??

1 will stick out the furtherest, probably best choice if your going for a wide stance/ lift
2 is a safe play , wont stick out too far , but also wont be tucked in too much
3 is a street look, more or less and will pretty much sit flush with the fender flares

i would go with 1 or 2

yeah if you plan on lifting, then the -12mm offset will probably be the best, for a nice stance

others will chime in to confirm

i have moto metal 957's (not on yet) and i got the -12 mm offset. That's what i'd go with, only thing is that you have to do the lift before putting the rims and tires on with that offset.
