Wheel Help

So I'm looking at getting new wheels since my second wheel just cracked. I am looking at the Fuel Dune wheels.

http://rimzoneonline.com/wheels/fuel-wheels/fuel-one-piece-wheels/fuel-dune-chrome/17x9-fuel-dune-chrome-d52217901745.html

They are 4.50 in backspace and come in either -12mm offset or +01. Which one would be more of a deep dish look. From the research it seems that the -12 offset will have that deep dish look.

Next question is how bad would rubbing be with 35x12.5 mud grappler? I am running them now with 17 dick cepek dc1. I dont know any specs on them.

And the truck is an 04 f350 with a leveling kit.

Thanks

acid dipped them for what? to strip off clear coat or powder coat to repaint them? And im positive acid will weaken the aluminum since it eats copper etc.

-12 will have a deep dish compared to the +01. And the only thing that might rub is the lower valance which you can trim with a small hack saw and clean it up with a razor blade. I don't think you will hit the front leaf springs while turning with that deep wheel

I dont know he said they kept getting dirty or some bs. My front valance is trimmed because mine rubbed there. Figured try something new and like the look of the deep dish
