Looking to upgrade the wheel and tire package. do you see any issues with this combo. Would probably being doing the 1.5inch leveling kit also. Also, if i'm not mistaking, this offset would push the tire/wheel out a bit correct? Any expert tire/wheel folks out there that could give me any positives or negatives with this on the RHO.

-12 would bring the wheel out further by about 1 1/4”.. no issue for factory 35 but most likely will rub even with leveling kit if you take it off road. I’ve seen 0mm offset with 37 and the guys said it it rubs a little on trails, -12 would be a bit more rub because besides the wider offset, your tires are also wider now.

so is 0mm stock? if i was just to go 0mm? and being i'm going 37x13.50x18, do you see it pushing out a bit more than the stock 35s already do? and thank you for the reply
 
Check out this post about TRX. 18x9 KMC XD 143 RG3’s with 0 offset 37” set up . He has photos and info.

There is more to it than just potential tire rub. Additional negative offset will increase your scrub radius cause increased tire wear and more stress on your ball joints and steering linkage. It will also compromise handling. The scrub radius effect will be somewhat lessened with the 37” tire. Ball joints and steering linkage stress would most definitely increase. Keeping the 35” tire with the increased offset of the new wheels would have a worse scrub radius effect. In short just because it fits or some people do it doesn’t make it a good idea.

If you want 37's keep your offset positive up to 20 on a 9" wheel.
