If I understand you correctly, you want "poke" - this means you want negative offset. Yes there are spacers that will push your wheels out further, but I advise against them. They put undue stress on your hubs and wheel bearings, plus a lot of the cheap spacers are lug-centric, and will cause uneven tire wear, and in many cases shear the lugs. If you MUST get spacers, get BORA hub-centric spacers. I recommend getting new wheels with the correct offset though.

 

You have it reversed, stock wheels have a more positive offset. Aftermarket wheels and spacers will give you a more negative offset. If you get spacers only use BORA they are expensive but they do not fail like the cheaper ones you can get. 1.75in is the smallest you can go without trimming your studs so they would push your wheels out 1.75in from stock. Most states its illegal to run spacers. Depending on your tire size and lift, the more negative the offset the smaller the tire you have to run so they will not rub at full lock. I ran BORAs on stock wheels for about a year with no issues. But its just a better idea to get the proper offset wheels you want rather than mess with spacers, since the torque needs to be check periodically.

 

Yup you are right, I want a negative off set and thanks for the advice, I will just look into rims with a negative off set then. I dont want to damage anything or put stress on anything that shouldnt be. With that said what is a good off set? Right now those numbers are pretty foreign to me

 

Here is all the info you need. It depends on the year of your truck, lift, and tire size as to what offset will work for you.

thanks for the info!!

Most aftermarket wheels don't have a matched bore size to the hub so you end up lug centric on the wheels anyway.

Just saying.

Yeah, with lug centric spacers you end up with also your wheels becoming lug-centric, so doubling up the lug centric can be a issue (twice the chance of it being slightly off, or both slightly off really stressing stuff out).

 

^^Hub rings will solve the different bore size.

 

Lower offset wheels will add stress to your trucks hubs as well so don't think you're getting away from by not using spacers.
