Stock Wheels:
Offset: +18
Backspace: 5.5

Take into account that stock wheels are 8.5" and not 9".

Edit:

My Ultra Wheel Ultra Colossus (17x9) has an offset of +12. I'm not 100% sure, but I found 5.47 for backspacing, so call that 5.5.

Just contacted the seller . He asure me the wheel will fit or he will take it back for an upgrade .

Wheel details

17x9
8x6.5
+20
5.75 bs

Now that I think understand better the wheels and Im not sure about the +20 offset with 5.75bs
Im guessing the wheel will not stick out enough .

What size tires are going on there?
That matters too. I'm running 35x12.5, so effectively 315/70.

If you're going 325+, I can see needing more of an offset.

Btw, nice rims. I owned the 18" version in matte black.
I think the grey looks nicer. I can't wait for pics. The contrast against your orange should be awesome.

Contacted seller to try to switch to 1 offset with 5 BS .After checkimg a few times I guess the 20 offset with 5.75BS and 9 wide rim is not going to fit . The clearence btw the Oem(18offset,5.5BS,8"rim) and the control arm is very tight . Also looks like the wheel will stick inside the fenders
please advise if you are using any of the 2 comb

Fuel has some weird sizes.

I'd try to get a wheel that fits the same way, but that's just me. My wheels, +12, 5.5 work perfectly & sit in the same place as stock.

Every time I look at wheels sizes, I have to re-learn all over again what offset & backspacing are. I always try to stay close to original. You either do that or have the tires sticking out & depending on the cops in your area, they can pull you over for it (it usually has to be excessive).

I see that there's only the two offsets/backspacings for the 17x9 / 8x6.5/165.1. I really can't say if 1 offset, 5+ backspacing would work, but that's cutting it close at the very least.
