Your offset is your center line a 0 mm offset would be right in the middle of the wheel, so on a 8" wheel 0mm offset would be 4 inches or 3.5 inches on a 7" wide wheel.

What makes it unsafe? I have put 40,000 miles on it like that daily driving, towing, and aired down offroad, never had an issue. 315/75/16 (35x12.50x16) on stock wheels.

Tire companies don’t advise letting that wide of a tire and that big of a side wall on 7 inch wide wheels, too much sidewalk sway

LOL I was talking about the posted speed limit but your right, not a great idea to go faster than the tire speed rating. As far as towing goes my tires have a 3860 lb load rating so no issues there, my axle ratings would be exceeded long before the tires would.

I have a 2016 F350 with stock 17x7.5" wheels. I would like to put a set of 2018 stock wheels on it, they are 18x8". I would like the 8" wheel so I can run a Cooper AT3 XLT with a 4080 E load rating. Can I do that with no problems?

Also, I have a set of take off Cooper SST Pro's that I would like to put on a 17x7.5" factory steel wheel for looks and to run while I'm not towing. What year factory wheels will fit my 2016 F350? Any, as long as they are 8 lug?

What size are the tires you want? As far as I know any 05 and up F250 or F350 srw wheels will fit your truck.

I believe the bolt patterns is the same 8x170 but the hub bore size may have changed on the 17 and newer models, I am not sure.

Okay so now I’m having trouble with tire size. I will be leveling my truck so I know I “could” fit 35s but I don’t want them. I am looking at either 285/75r18 or 305/60r18 for tires. If I get 285s I have a plethora of tires to choose from, if I get 305s I’m stuck between a few tire options. But the real issue is rubbing, I have no idea if 305s will rub or not I know 285s won’t but I think the 305s would look better on the truck. If anyone knows if 305s would rub or not let me know. TIA!

-12mm and the truck will be leveled shortly, trying to figure out how I want to go about the level if you have any recommendations, currently deciding between lift shackles and x code leafs. But I have a new track bar I want to use and idk if I can use it with either.

I know for a fact that a 305/70/16 on a -12 mm offset wheel fits great on a leveled truck with room to spare. So you shouldn't have an issue fitting a 305/60/18.
