    Thumbs up

    I am running 265/70-16's on stock rims for winter use & they reqd. minor trimming on the front cladding.
    The 265/50-20's I use for summer required me to trim a little more(same spot, just had to remove more) due to the more negative offset of the new wheels.
    The backset on the dubs is 5" which brings the wheel out just slightly past the fender.
    I really like the "rugged good looks" of that teflon wheel.
    As far as trimming goes...don't sweat it, it's super easy to do & if you didn't know it was done, you wouldn't even notice.
    Hope any of this helps.

    Some good wheel reference info for figuring and converting fitments:

    Wheel Terminology & Calculation

    Similar to above, different format.

    Hope that helps make it clear as mud!

    Although I am lifted, I am running 16x8's with a +20 backspacing on my offroad set up. I am running 31x10.5 MTR's. Puts the tires pretty much even with the edge of the cladding.

    Either will work, it depends on the look / function you want. The +20 offset will be closer to stock performance and look. The tires will probably sit just inside the fenders, if not flush. The 0 offset will probably protrude 1/2" or 3/4" or so. Not sure how the change in geometry will affect offroad performance. Others can probably offer better advice regarding that.
