Another offset/backspace question

[Thunder240]

I’ve got a tradesman with the stock 17x7 with +25.4mm offset wheels (2019 1500 Classic). My intent is to move up to 17x9s.

If I want to preserve stock handling, should I hold the backspace constant and go with 0 (or +1mm) offset? What would -12mm do to my handling?

I realize either way they’ll stick out, but I’m planning on adding a flared wheel fender.

Thanks guys!

You need 0 offset min to safely run 12.50’s ... Handles same as stock ... If I had it to do over, I’d do -12, cuz they look better

A negative offset will not change any of the stock handling features. I run a -18 offset on my 2500 4x4. I do recommend a 10" wide rim though. Itll keep the tire wear more evenly across the whole footprint of the tire.
