Wheel Ideas

Has anyone ever thrown a set of 33's on a 20x9 Lightning replica wheel? Because I've been thinking about doing that on my stock height 4x4. The current crop of wheels on eBay have either an 8 or 14mm offset, and that's where I get a little confused.

I'm really just shooting for a wheel/tire combo that will clear, and if so, I'd like it to stick out about even with the factory fender flare.

Not seen them on actual yet but this site indicates +8mm offset and on few "customer" photos doesn't any tires are sticking out. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...e-Wheel-Chrome

The lower the offset, the closer the wheel comes to the outside of the fender.

Ah, looks like the 8mm offset is the closest I can get to the flare, thanks!

Alright guys, the time to buy is drawing near. I'm looking at the 20x9 wheel with the 8mm offset. Is that the closest I can get to flush with the fender with this wheel?

Once I get the wheels, what tires should I wrap them with? Appearance-wise, I'm shooting for the low-profile chunky tire look.
