-12mm or 20mm offset?

I was just wondering what 275/70/18 BF Goodrich All Terrains would look like on an 18x9 wheel with -12mm offset? I couldn't find any pictures, maybe because its never been done or not recommened?
My other option is 18x8.5 wheels with +20mm offset.
Let me know what you guys think

All depends if u want them to stick out or tuck in. The negative will stick out of ur wheelwell a couple inches where the positive will only stick out maybe an inch or so.

Yea I know I'm just wondering if an 11" tire will look strange sticking out so far with a -12 offset. Yet I still want the deep look

The three wheels I'm looking at right now are as follows:
18x9 -12mm offset
18x8.5 +20mm offset
18x8.5 +25mm offset

Is the backspacing significantly different between the wheels? I would say the +20, but that is cause I like my wheels tucked so it doesn't fling rocks up into the paint. I agree with u and like the deeper dish wheels, but that seems tough to do on these trucks.

Personally I wouldn't stick an 11" wide tire out very far. I'm not sure about offset, but I would get a wheel with 5" or 5.25" of backspacing. **** Cepek Torque wheels are made to keep tires closer to the body, but still leave room to clear the upper control arm and stuff. If you like the way they look, I would say they would fit that tire good
