OK, so i found some Fuel wheels, 18x9 with a -12mm offset, will these fit properly? Also, i found the same wheels with -18mm offset, would these fit better, or which should i get???

I am not lifted at all, i am stock height, with coil spring front end.

You want something with around zero offset for that width wheel. The -12mm would be the best out of those two choices, it would stick out 1/2" farther than something with zero offset.

I have a set of 18 inch lariat wheels that I am thinking about selling. I am planning on swapping to 2005+ axles. I am in the chandler-Gilbert area.

Site sponsor Custom Wheel Offsets has what seems to be a pretty good online figment tool, have you tried plugging in your specs there yet?
https://www.customwheeloffset.com/? I haven't played around with it as I'm perfectly happy with my OEM 18"s, but have read where it's helped several other members around here.

I will be back in town tomorrow. Got delayed by the transfer case bolts backing out on my ex. First time I’ve seen that happen. Tow truck driver made the situation far worse and now the transfer case motor and multiple wires need repair.
