-14 offset = 4.44in of backspacing
-12 offset = 4.52in of backspacing
+25 offset = 5.98in of backspacing

A 9 inch wide wheel with 4.44 or 4.52 inches of BS is gonna stick out about 2.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels while one with 5.98 inches of BS will stick out about an inch farther than the stock wheels.

I would run the -12 offset if you want them to stick out. If you want it closer to the stock set up go with the +25.
-12 offset = 4.56 backspace
+25 offset = 5.23 backspace
