Im going to order my wheels soon and I need some information. I know its on this site somewhere but I cant seem to find it.

I am buying wheels probably SS212 and I need to know what the factory offset is? I want to keep the factory look and keep the wheels in a straight row with one and other.

I think the front is 5+2 and the back is 5+3 but not sure.

Also everyone seems to be upgrading the wheels to 14" from 12". Is there a advantage apart from look?

While i'm at it lots of people go with the maxxis bighorns. Will these destroy my grass?

Thanks!

That's the correct offset numbers.

14" will give you less sidewall. Which means less flex and you'll have less weight as the tire rubber will weigh more than the aluminum of the rim. Which is good for staying close to stock weight and not sapping power.

The pioneer will ruin your grass. There is no slip in the rear diff.

So if i baught:

Front - 12x7 with 5+2
Back - 12x8 with 5+3

I would have a stock appearance and stance.

Have you found a place selling the ITP SS212 in a 12x8? Don't remember seeing one back when I was looking for my wheels.

I stand corrected. I guess 12x7 all around?

Thats always an issue with the aftermarkets. It can be hard to find what you like and have it exactly like stock. In the 14" I had the same issue. You just have to take what you can get.

Pain in the ass if you ask me. Wheels suppliers should just post on their websites the exact info needed to replace stock wheels. Would make it alot easier for newbies like myself.

It seems like it's something that could be more standardized on the factory and aftermarket sides. I 100% agree.

I believe that the offset will be the same all the way around 5 + 2 on aftermarket wheels and all 12x7.

Does anyone know if a factory set of rincon wheels are the same as stock pioneer wheels. The factory polished aluminum would look nice and have factory backspace

Moose, did you do 5+3 all around. I thought that is in a post you made.
