The wheels I wanted to buy only come in 18x9 and they have a -1 offset.
Apparently that would mean they would stick out another 37mm vs the +30mm OEM wheel in the 37 package. That's almost 1.5 inches, I have a feeling they will rub.

Gen3 raptor offsets are as follows:

Cast Aluminum: +1.3”/34mm
Forged Aluminum (bead lock): +1.3”/34mm
“Raptor 37” forged aluminum bead lock: +1.2”/30mm
anyone know the width of the cast aluminum gen 3 wheels?

looking at the method 701 bead grips, 17x8.5, with 0 offset. That will be 1.3 inches wider per side if the width of the method wheel is the same as the OEM cast aluminum..

sucks method doesn't have stock offset option.

I prefer a +offset wheel to help from rocks and crap being thrown down the side of my truck. Aren't many options i know of, one from Method and a few from KMC but those are all i've researched. Most are zero offset and while they look pretty good definitely place the tire outside the fender more than i prefer.
