    There is no correct offset. It depends on what you want. Maximum back space is around 4 1/4". Almost any 7" rim will work from there.

    It's sort of a personal preference like posted above...
    3.25" to 4.25" will work pretty good and fit out back.
    Personally though, I like the tires tucked pretty good, so 4" is my preference.
    Tire size plays a bit of a role too... but not as much as the rim specs.
