Wheel width will affect offset recommendations, but on a 9" wide wheel anything less than a +25 offset should be free of rubbing. I'm running a +1 offset on my 17x9 wheels, and my 12.50 width tires stick out past the fender by 1 1/2". I tried to find wheels with +18 or +12 offset, which would have been ideal, but couldn't find any in the style I wanted.

Now I am really confused. I thought -negative offset pushes the tire outside more and past the fender? But your statement is just the opposite? I was thinking a -12 offset for me to keep from rubbing inside? No?

I think stock is +44 so +25 is essentially moving in a negative direction and further out toward the fender......
