Just my opinion, but anything more + than a 0 offset would tuck in to far with an 8" or wider wheel. I like the deeper dish look, however our trucks require some fitting to make wheels with - offset work. Do have a pic of the wheel?

Check the drive orientation of the wheel. The drive is categorized as rear(usually straight axel and lifted application) mid(lifted or stock[depending on offset]) and front drive(obviously for frt whl drv car) if the wheel is a mid drive wheel with a -25 offset you'll be golden.

-25 WILL NOT FIT WITH 33" TIRES without trimming a lot.
-25 offset is -25 offset not matter what this guy says^^^^
Stay with a zero or positive offset you can fit larger tires the more the wheel sticks inside the wheel well(or positive offset)
Wheels with negative offset are for lifter trucks to space away from the steering components. You will wear steering parts faster with a negative offset wheel.

My truck is stock height and most likely stay stock height. I race and sled pull. Tires most likely will be Mickey Thompson mtz's, size Idk w.e fits best. Probably a little smaller than a 33" tire

My truck is lowered with 20x10" wide wheels and a -19 offset with 305/50's and dont rub that bad at all? Trimmed corners of my front bumper though.

If they're +25mm, forget it.

I ran a 20 x 9 -22mm and they fit perfect, minor trimming of the valance with a 275/60R20.

I now run an 18 x 9, 0 offset with a 325/60R18. Rubs slight on tight turns but looks sooo much better.

i just got some 18X9 ballistics with i think -11 offset and put used 285/65/r18 bfg allterrains with about half tread on them and had to trim the front valance and cut out my mudflaps in the middle for more clearance and they still rub a bit in certain situations.:(
