i run cruiser off set adn they stick out a mile. Id guess jtop is right and that a patrol offset would be sweet.
Mine has improved the ride and handling considerably. Not sure how much the new mags will stick out though

A zero offset will help correct the scrub radius error induced by the taller tyres.
A zero offset creates a legal track on a Pajero - 'Cruiser offset won't.
My zero offset rims passed handling and braking tests and an over-the-pits inspection by SA Transport (with factory GLS guards and mudflaps.) The handling test included steering kickback, which will be exacerbated by excess scrub radius.
I'm happy with zero offset, and wouldn't consider different.

just an update ended up getting a set of 33x12.5 x15 bf goodrich off another forum member with good tread at the right price so on they went. Went for a wheel today and had a very small amount of scrubbing so about time I install the 2 inch blocks I have had in the shed for about a year but thanks for the advice guys
