It's the backspacing that determines how far the wheels will stick out, not the size or width of the rim, but they are related.

so whars the correct backspacing then...and I assume if you have diferent size width tires that would make a differnce also...i.e a 10 inch wide tire would need less back spacing as a 9 inh would need more in order to be flush with fender...
Well, the width, does have an affect on offset / backspace. They are all related.
Offsets are all listed in the "Does it Fit" thread.
My 9.5" front with a 38 mm offset fit as flush as I would ever want them, and my 10.5" rear with a 38 mm offet fit great too.

Thanks for you replies Oynx and Xsta....I realize that there is the info in the does it fit but it gives a from an xx to a x will fit, not xx will be flush with fender and xx will stick out or xx will be etc based off the width it just says in general this will fit...but I'm thinking based of what I have now and what I want to achieve is a 17x10 +52mm offset for rear and a 17x10 +38mm offset (or +40mm)???Front Im still a little hazy on...thanks guys!!
