Offset Question?

Hey everyone, the name is Alex and I am new to the forum as far as posting goes even though my profile says been a member for a few weeks. I did utilize the search button quite a bit on this topic, but I couldnt exactly find the answer I needed for the type of set up I am looking to do and if so I guess I am just plane ignorant when it comes to wheel/tire offset issues. For starters, I just recently bought a new 09' GMC SIERRA Z71 4X4 Crew Cab "All Terrain" package. Now the question is, what offset is recommended for little or no rubbing for a set up of Moto Metal 951 18" wheels with Nitto Mud Grapplers 35x12.50R18 slapped on? I know I will require a lift kit which I do plan on getting also, the lift I am looking at is Fabtech 6" basic lift, seeing my previous truck (05' Silverado) had the same lift on it and I had no problems. I guess from my little understanding on this matter, my tires will stick out some, I am not really fond of tires sticking out, the most I am looking to have them stick out is maybe max 1". Trying to avoid having that "frog" look but more along the lines of a "flush" look. Is there anyone who can possibly point me in the right direction as far what kind of wheel offset you recommend for me to achieve the set up I want?

 

Also this site is very informative, spend a lot of time on it at work just reading up on info. :dunno:

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
