Im running 15x8 with a -18 offset on my Wide Body Surf
keeps my 33x12.5 BFG even with the outside of the flare. Minimal Rubbing with 2" body lift that a BFH fixed on the firewall.

-24 offset would prob have been a bit better as would stick out abit more. but i would have had to added flare extensions.

just get the widest ones you can mate. I think mine were -19 so 24 should be pretty good. email 4wdbits tell them you want the largets offset they have

-24 is the largest ex stock offset rim in NZ Rocky road .com have bigger but shipping cost prohibitive. would go well on a surf but also may rub out side edge at rear of tyre at full lock. :D
