Some manufacturers calculate offset based on wheel centerline and others do it based on tire centerline. That can be a little different with bead locks which have a thick curbside lip. Also, some have more precise measures for backspacing and provide those instead, which retailers may change to offset for advertising purposes. If you want a stock fit EXACTLY, you should just use stock wheels. If you want to use aftermarket wheels, just buy and mount 1 on the front and test the fit and that there is no rubbing before you invest in a full set. It’s probably better to err on the side of a little too much positive offset because you can use spacers to shift the wheel toward the curb. If you don’t have enough positive offset you can’t remedy that. The good news is that we are talking about very small differences and usually only translate to a few millimeters. I defy anyone to look at two trucks side by side and tell me which one has 5mm more tire showing.</blockquote>
