differences in these offsets with this set-up

Please help, I'm confused, lol!!
I am running nitto terra grapplers in 305 60 18 size. Truck is a 2005 fx4 with 2"a.s. On the market for wheels, specifically 18x9's.
I found wheels I like, each have a difference offset
-6mm
2mm
0mm
Can someone tell me what the back space is with each and how far from stock they will stick out? Which am I better off with?
will they all work?

thanks so much.

There are some online calculators to translate offset into backspacing. If you can give me the BS we can answer your question.

Oops sorry, here it is best I can find.
Found a calculator, not sure if its right but looks like as follows
-6mm off set = 4.75" bs
2mm off set = 5.12" bs
0mm off set = 5.00 bs
I hope that is right ,lol! Appreciate any help.

4.75 inches of bs will stick out 2.25 inches farther than the OEM wheels.
5.12 inches of bs will stick out about 1.78 inches farther than stock.
5 inches of bs will stick out 2 inches farther than stock.
They will all work/fit fine.

Wandell thanks for the help!! Big help for me! wheel sizing is definitely not my thing.
I had planned months agos to go with rockstars or procomp 7005s but both were on back order. The procomps till january, so I turned them down. Glad I did because I found different pro comps on sale for 100.00 a wheel!! Can't wait to get them on my truck!!

Thanks again!
