Offset has to do with the difference between where the mounting surface of the wheel is in comparison to where the center line of the wheel is.

I guess the answer to your question would be yes and no. A more negative offset will push the wheel and, inherently, the tire out further. A positive offset will do the opposite and act to suck the wheel and tire inward. Hope that helps.

First off let me say the truck looks great!! Especially like the bumper sticker!!

Did you plan on your exhaust having those angles?

No didn't plan on the exhaust having those angles. The guy that helped me when i lived in california said they had to be at that angle. I plan on changing the angles.

Looks good. Would look good with a bigger rim though.
