To the point,
I'm looking at a set of 22x11 american racing thug teflon wheels with a 0mm offset on 37x13.5 r 33 Kuhmo mt's..
Tirerack does not want to sell me the set because I said that I do not have a lift kit. I know that some of you guys run 22x12 rockstars on w/ 37 inch kuhmos with torsion bar lifts.. The rockstar has a -24mm offset.
Do you guys think a wheel with some negative offset will be better or should I stick with the thugs since they have no offset.. Any advice is appreciated.

No worries man, Its been so damn cold I haven't finished them all anyways and thought you fell off the face of the earth lol.
Correction on the Rockstars... -24mm are the 20x10, the 20x12s are -44mm... Honestly, the only way you'd be able to get away with what you're wanting with a 13.5" tire is by getting Wheel Spacers, 0mm offset just isn't enough, and dont ever tell Tirerack you dont have a lift, they always wanna play it safe, Eibach sells some spacers with 20/30/40mm or whatever you can find and you'll have the perfect setup you want with those wheels.
BUT.... dont go offroad with the spacers on... I just dont trust them for offroading eventhough a lot of people think they're very safe... just a thought.
and I'm with you on the Kumho's man, I love those tires, actually thinking of them for my next set soon. .... so, let me know what you find out.
