35 offset sounds like a street wheel with more than 6" of backspacing.

That wont give you the aggressive stance you want.

What rims are you looking at ? lift/level ? what tires ?

im not sure if the Kuhmos have large side lugs or not , but they re might be some control arm clearance issues with that wide of a tire and a rim with 6 3/8" of backspacing.

If you want an agressive stance like you mentioned in your first post , i would look for a 9" wide wheel with 5-6" of backspacing. or if you have ur heart set on those wheels, find abit skinner tire, like 11.5/12" wide, but they will be tucked in a good amount.

Stock offset is +44mm if that helps. Also there are 25.4mm in an inch.

Those will stick out 2 inches more than stock. I'm running 17x9's with a 5 inch backspace. I have no rubbing on my leveled 4x4 with 295x70x17 Toyo's.

an 18x9 with 5" of backspacing and 33/12.5 will look good and stick out enough where it looks good but doesnt stick out that far.

Heres a few examples of my past setups the tires are 35/12.5R20 Toyo M/ts

Heres a 20x9 w/6.18 bs. pic isnt the greatest but the tires sat even with the fender flares, the tires were too close to the control arm, which made me get new rims


Heres 20x9.5 w/ 5.25


Heres 20x10 w/4.5 bs

So would a 22x9.5 and 5.25 backside be alright...sounds like it might be too far or not? They would be going on a leveled truck with 285/50R22(33.2") terra grapplers.

I'm running a 22x11 with -25 offset with 5" BS. My wheels stick out around 2". I love the stance of a low offset.

Are you from Houma?

Who you talking to highon22's? Im from MN. You have a 5" backspacing on an 11" rim,so from the looks of it I would be fine with a 9.5" rim and a 5.25"? That should be 1.75" in from yours correct?

Sorry, was talking to bayouboy. He has two different locations as where he's from, but I remeber him messaging me a while back.
I don't want to say yes, but you should be. Yes your wheels should stick in that much more than mine.
