Yeh -25 offset which is landcruiser offset. These are the most common offet wheel for 4x4ing.

You might find thetyres might still hit the springs at full lock. Mine did.
You can buy 6mm wheels spacers from any wheel shop. This might fix it without going overkill.

hey mate i have an 83 and mines runs cruiser offset rims with 12.5 wide 33s. bighorns.
They dont scrub the springs at all. sometimes at full flex the tyres will scrub the chassis at the back but it doesnt hurt it as its only just touching.
otherwise it is great with these rims. much more stable on side slopes.
they should fit alright to i have 2 inch body lift and sagged springs. mine dont scrub guards unless at full lock and full flex they tap the front mudflaps otherwise all good.

Just adjust the steering stops so the tyres don't rub on the springs once you fit the landcruiser rims.
