Wheel Offsets

I need to know which offset of wheels to order and how wide. I've got an 04, 350 with 6" lift. I want the tires to stick out the side just a little bit, but not to much. So 8.5, 9.5 or 10" width for the rims, and what offsets would give me what i want?

Get out your measuring tape. Measure from the face of your hub to the frame. Turn your wheels left and right and measure the same way. Look for other places it might rub, too.

Usually, it's backspacing that gets listed (easier to measure). Just do what sprocket26 said, and get wheels with less backspacing. Width depends on the tire size you want, and can be looked up on tire makers' web sites.
