quick wheel question...

OK, I decided on getting a set of XD Monsters for my 07 Tundy. After searching through threads and using the handy Excel wheel sizing spreadsheet, I'm still not sure what offset/backspace to go with. I will be running Yokohama A/T-S LT275 65 18 tires with no lift or level. The Monsters are 9" wide and I have a choice between these options:

diameter: 18in
backspace: 5.71in
offset: 18mm

OR

diameter: 18in
backspace: 6.38in
offset: 35mm

I'd like the tires to stick out past the wheel well a little bit if possible. Advice is greatly appreciated, as are other suggestions pertaining to tire or wheel size. Thanks!

30-35mm gives you the "stock" even edge look. Unless you are going with fatter tires, you will need to get the 18mm offset. Should give you about 1" of hangout. My 10mm give me about 1 1/4".

The 18 x 9 +35 are going to stick out 38mm further than stock and offer 12mm more interior clearance. The 18 x 9 +18 will stick out 55mm over stock and give 29mm more interior clearance.

It's all starting to make sense now! Thanks.
