confusion on spacers vs offset

[terrywarfield]

So I just traded my old truck in, which had the factory 22" Laramie Rims, which are 22x9, and are a +19 offset, with 2" spacers all around. I really loved this look. They were wrapped in 35x12.5x22 Venom Power (I will never buy another set of venoms tho)

I was going to do the same set up on my new truck, however, I found some Rough Country rims on Facebook marketplace that fit my truck. They are 22x10, with a -25mm offset, and I am ordering some Falken At4w in 35x12.5.22. I am unsure how much a 22x10 wheel with -25mm offset would stick out compared to a 22x9 will with a 2" spacer. I would like to get close to my previous look without needing spacers as I know spacers tear up your suspension. Any help on this would be appreciated!

A 2" spacer is 50.8mm. So your previous setup was SUBTRACTING 50.8mm from the stock offset. In other words, your +19 went to -31.8.
Your new desired setup (-25) will be 6mm further in towards the truck. That's about 1/4". Barely noticeable.

Quick Google search and some mathing and it seems the new wheels, by themselves, should give you pretty close to the same look as your old wheels with the spacers.

What you could do it takes a jack and lug wrench with you and test fit one of the new wheels on the truck and see how far they stick out.

I appreciate this. but with the new wheel being 1" wider, (22x9 vs 22x10), does that affect the measurement?

Thanks. I appreciate it. I am wondering if the rim width makes a difference as it's 1" wider. I have a body shop doing all this so im trying to avoid paying them extra ya know

I missed that part. Offset is measured to centerline of the wheel. So with the new wheels being 1" wider (1/2" further to the inside, and 1/2" further to the outside), your "poke" will now be 1/4" wider than the old setup.

Very helpful. I really appreciate it man

Yes, as Eighty said, the offset is measured from centerline. So wider wheels will effect the "poke". Looks like he has you covered. Id be willing to bet there won't be a very visual difference without taking a straight edge and tape measure to them.
