And then you can use this site to compare how different offsets will affect the fit:

I think you might be looking at the numbers backwards, +12 will make them stick out further past the fender.
The larger the number ie +40 the closer the wheel will sit to the inner components such as the suspension and the swaybar.
Spacers in this case will push the wheel further out past the fender. I am running a set of 24" wheels with a +25 offset and they sit flush with the fender.

As Jonny mentioned, they will stick out past the fenders (around 3/4" or so). Spacers would make it even worse.
You need a higher offset to tuck the wheels under the fender.

That's interesting. That's the same calculator that I posted in the link above.

low numbers are generally rwd and high numbers are fwd, 4wd. usually. there are exceptions, rim width is one thing to conside because with a 10inch wheel with a +25 (like mentioned above) puts you flush, and if you want to run a +12, you would stick out 13mm. doesnt sound like much but it will make your ride handle different, maybe in a bad way. not to mention if you tire is to big, during suspension travel you may rub your fender. but thats nothing that cant be fixed with a baseball bat(rolling fender)

Spacers are a bad idea
I would not recommend spacers on anything, especially not a 3 ton truck and wider than stock wheels. Puts too much stress on the lugs. :eek2:

No, don't get me wrong. I was just meant that two different web sites were using the same calculator. I wonder if they're owned by the same company, that's all.
