Wheel experts get in here. . . Please

I'm looking at changing out the 18s on my truck. Stock set up is 265/65/18 on a 18*8.5 with 4.75" backspace and a 24mm offset. New wheel I'm looking at is a 18*9 with a 5" backspace and a 0mm offset. Plan is to keep tires and wear em out at which point I'll go 275/65/18 to fill the wells a touch more. Problem is I can't get a straight answer as to where these will sit. Online calculator says .94" one tire shop says 1/4" another says 1 1/4". At most I wanna be flush with the fender. Anyone who can chime in I would appreciate it. Thank you.

The edge of the new wheels will sit approximately 1 1/4" further out. 24mm=.94" and you have to split the extra .5" of width to both sides of the wheel which is .25 bringing the total that wheel will move out to 1.19".

The more positive offset you have will bring wheel inwards. Negative offset brings the wheel outwards.

That feels acceptable to me. I really don't wanna spray road shit all of this fucking thing but I'm burning to change these stupid looking wheels.

Drop a weighted string off your flare and see how much room you have to add?

I'll stay stock if that's the case. This is meant to be a cheaper way to not look like every other black Chevy.

Yea It'll definitely give it a more aggressive look. I'd shoot a laser or use the line method to see exactly where things will end up to be on the safe side.

Oh I've got a ton more waffling to do before I end up buying some stock 20" take offs and complain that I should've bought these.
