Im about to purchase some 18" Moto Metal 951's and some 35" Toyo Open Country MT's. Do I get the 18 offset or 30?

Thanks Sandstone - I saw them last night. He doesn't sound like he wants to ship em though. I found some fairly local, kinda the same deal. If it doesnt work out I'll hit him up.

I have the moto metal 956 with + 30mm offset and 6.18 backspacing. It's an 18x9. On both the 951 and 956, this is the specs you're looking for. I also have a 2.5 leveling kit. Had to trim off some plastic in the front wheel well to fit the 325/65/18 Nitto's.

Here's link to my album if you want to see how they fit:

Happy shopping!

Thanks! I actually just got a set of 20" MB Motoring Gunner 6. After my wife complained about the Moto Metals looking to crazy I started looking for a wheel with cleaner lines. I was able to pick up a set from a guy near Houston for $500. Im throwing some 35" Toyo MT's on them next month and then the Ranho lift the month after

-12 should be the offset. Those wheels come in a +30 and a -12. The -12 have a 4.5 offset. They will sit further out than your stock wheels for sure, probably 2 1/2 inches.
