rims

What are some of youi guys running as far as an offset on your rims?
I asked some questions before about this and it was helpful. The rim I am looking at is a 15X10 with a 3 5/8.
Thanks

IMPORTANT:

Whatever wheels you choose, make sure they have an offset that is the equivalent of the original wheels. The placement and bearing design of the hubs are based on the original wheel forces. (Vertical forces and the moment created by an offset not exactly in the middle of the wheel.)

By equivalent, I don't mean the same. A 7" wheel with a 3" offset is equivalent to a 10" with a 4 1/4" offset. (Make the math work out by percentage)

This will "trick" your bearings into thinking they are on original wheels and load them properly.

I am not sure what the original offset is though...
