20x9 i think our bolt pattern is 6-139.7. there are two options the 10 backspacing and the 20. which do i need to keep the stock appearance? i dont want the wheels 5 in outside my fender.

Yeah, I hate that look too. Makes the truck look like a big rollerskate.
Sorry, don't know what the stock backspacing is.

The 20mm offset should move the inside of the wheel 8mm in towards the truck and the outside edge of the wheel 18mm out away from the truck.

The 10mm offset will move the inside of the wheel 2mm out away from the truck and the outside edge of the wheel 28mm out from the truck.

This is based off of a oem offset of 25mm and width of 8"

Check out this site http://350zx.com/tire-wheel.html It will give you a comparison between stock and aftermarket based on the info you put in. Like sammy said, the stock set up is 18x8, +25mm offset with 265/70/18 tires.

You want the 10mm offset. The 20mm may give you rubbing problems with the brake calipers. When I got my wheels, they delivered the wrong offset the first time and we had to return them due to this problem.

thanks alot, that would def pose a problem, i didnt even think about them rubbing the brake caliper.
