I don't know what -12 and -38 is. I have 35/12.5/15s on 15 by 10" wheels with a 3.62" backspace and they still rub on my skyjacker radius arms. You're not suppose to turn the wheel ALL the way to the end, so just adjust your steering stops.

how much offset.

Offsets are frequently specified in mm. -12 is -0.47" -38 is -1.496"
To convert to backspace numbers, you need to tell us how wide a rim you are looking at.
