I would set myself up for more ABUSE because????
If I ever figure out the manufacturer or specs on my rims, I'll join in. They were put on by PO & he never responded to my query for info.

BTW, you may want to reference the thread on lift wiki.

Here's a pic or two, will post more specs (rim offset) later.
Good idea for a thread...
Tires: 33-12.50x20" Nitto Mud Grapplers
Wheels: 20x8" Centerline Tomahawk Rapid (polished)
Lift: 3-4" (OME 919's, 1" coil spacer & T-bar crank)

Might want to have a link to this added to your initial post as well.
Wheel Spec Wiki Thread
This shows detailed offset images.
Also it appears as though most of the Offset specs are off...
I would say Jays are a +12mm, and the ones posted as "0" would be more like 18mm. I know Little Beasts are 15mm, mine are 10mm.

Richie,
Who do think has 18mm offset?
I made the other changes and I will add your link at the bottom of the list.
As far as Jay's offset, I went to Mickey Thompson's site MT Classic Lock 16x8 6-5.5 are only available in (-12mm).
Thanks,
Gene

Hey Gene,
In the top pic you have of my VX, I am rolling on BFG A/Ts - LT245/70 R16, pre-OME lift.
I now have 265 75/R16 BFG Mud Terrains which you see in my close-up post above, post-OME lift.

Hey Gene, sorry didn't see this... my bad.
Jays wheels I don't believe could be -12mm, Even if that's all they are [currently] offered at. I think Ryan (little beast) can help me out a bit, but here's how it goes. (My understanding, please anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
Stock wheels +18mm offset, anything less than that pushes the outward from the vehicle. If my wheels are at +10mm offset, and stick out quite a bit, then anything that sticks out less than mine would have to be between 10mm and 18mm Positive offset. Which is why I believe some of the early posted wheels are incorrect.
I think that Tom4Bren is at a 0 to +5mm offset, I'm at a +10mm and Beast is at +15mm, so based on images of our setups you could get a pretty close guess as to what people's Offset are.
Of course this makes the assumption that we all have wheels between the widths of 7" - 8.5", my wheels are 8.5" wide.
========= A little advice ============
To those of you who posted images of your vehicle, and Rickshaw has already added you to his posts, I recommend deleting your original post (or editing it) so the images aren't posted twice.
This thread is really taking off!! Good Job Rickshaw!!

Peace.

p.s.
This is for anyone. I want a wider stance look. Can I keep my rims and put a plate on the backside of my rims to get that wider look?

ok, while we are talking about rims...i think i have it figured out what i want...but i cant seem to find a website that allows you to specify offset and backspacing and such....
is there a good place where you can choose different rims and set your own backspacing and offset???
