Default What offset for deepdish Boyd's?

Hey all,

I am looking into getting a set of Boyds Smoothie II's for my 02 WS6. Discount tire sells them with a 38mm offset (I think). I want to get that deep dish look and don't mind if the wheel sticks out a little further than stock (max 1"). Should I look at getting a custom offset or backspacing? I have tried to get in contact with Todd a couple times but he's really busy.

Any ideas guys?

Russell

Yup , 38mm offset will give you a nice fatass lip and a flush fit. I have a set of 18" x 10" with the 38mm offset brand new in box in the for sale section if your interested.
