15 x 12 wheels. what offset?


Hey guys. I have opened up the front of my inner fenders on the rear. I have a 8.8 in the factory width. I'm trying to find out what offset you guys are using on a 15 x 12 wheel? I have a barrowed 15 x 10 rts on the back with a 295/50 and it is even with the fender lip and has about 2 to 3 inches from the inner fender. Thanks in advance. I'll try to post a few pics

Measure what you have and add 2". See where that lands. Its going to be a squeeze to make them fit before the control arms and the panhard bad get in the way.
