Ok so if i know i have 9.5" wheels then they are 241.3mm wide divide by 2 and i get 120.65 I measured from the rim edge where the rim width is actually measured and got 5" which is 139.7
120.65-139.7 gives me a +6 offset for my rear 9.5" wheel

Now Im having trouble finding what offset would be equivalent if i bought 10.5" wide wheels.

I think i found that a 17x10.5 +20 or if i go 17x11 +26 would make then stick out equivalent to what i have now

I looked at her video and everything is spot on. Nothing incorrect there.

Wheel edges are always 0.5" each, so for instance if the wheel is made as a 10'' it should give you 11'' measured from outside both edges.

now to compare wheel widths and offsets use this tool : Equivalent Arch Clearance Calculator | Wheel offset and fitment comparison tools

look at the top right corner for 2 additional very useful tools.

easy math

given.

Your wheel is a "+6 offset for my rear 9.5" wheel"

So given this information, you want the edge of the wheel to be the same spot.

(9.5 *25.4)/2 = 120.65MM to the centerpoint of your wheel. if you have +6MM offset then the edge of the wheel is 114.65mm from the edge of the hub.

if you want to maintain the 114.65mm from the edge of the hub, then you back calculate using the math above.

(10.5*25.4)/2 = 133.35 (subtract edge 114.65mm) = 18.7MM offset

10.5" wide wheels
Offset 18.7mm


11" wide wheel
Offset 25.05mm


let me know if you need me to figure out where the location of your tire is with respect to your hub and what tire you should run with the new offset to be in the same location.

you should get 255/35 next time you buy new front tires. With your current 265s you'll have taller front tires, which is kinda doing it backward imo. If you went with 255/295 combo both front and rear tires would be 25in OD. (265/35 is 25.3in)

I'm just being ****

I agree with Deesan.
265 on a 10 is not bad but if you want to have balance with the rear, the 295/30 will sit lower than the 265/35

I use to refuse to get into that specially when i was looking for tires for my new setups but i had to learn the hard way lol.

A 255 wont really be stretched on the 10, it will give you a nice "square" look rather than a "mushroom"

Nothing wrong with a mushroom look unless you are doing the same on the rear.

Rezaxx II

10x10.5-19
10x12-40 with 15mm spacer


18x10.5 -19 ?
18x12 -55 ?

So with the outside wheel face in the same place and the wheel well filled up toward the suspension-

you could run
18x13.5 +15 295/30-18
18x16 -5 335/30-18

That would be pretty baller.
