-33 or -19 offset

[Engineer]

advantages/disadvantages of going the wider/lesser offset on my ln130surf.
ive got the factory flares on me truck what do ya do if the tires stick outpast them? still fit the rubber flares onto them?
looking at going 33s shortly.

If you get the right offset 33s will not stick out from factory flares
Not sure what offset mine are but i have got 15x8 with 33BFGS and they are just inside flare

[Engineer]

i realise that, would there be any advantage other than a wider stance if i was to go the larger offset? is it worth the hassel?

A new set of rims is a lot of money for 14mm?

Some wide body LN130s come from the factory with 15x7s with a -20 offset, so 15x8 -19 shouldn't have the tire sitting too far outside the factory flares, if at all. Personally I'd go for the -33 offset though, as this lessens the chance of a 33" mud rubbing on the sway bar and pitman arm like mine do..

Where did you find a 15x8 with -33 offset by the way? I need new (bigger offset) wheels and don't really want to go for the -44 15x10s on trademe.

sorry but im getting 15x10's. my factory rims have +7 offset
id like to for the -33s but really dont wanna have to put flares onto my fibreglass flares

I'm running 15x8 -18 offset and my 33" BFG's sit just outside the flares on my wide body Surf.
However the flares being fiberglass have been copping a fare amount of damage and will be soon be replaced with rubber.

just sat down and worked out how far out a 15x10 with -33 will stick put, and its way too much haha think ill stic with the 15x8 with -19.
