Mine has 295/ 50 /15 at stock height.
Looks like the right rear will rub slightly on the inside tub (clean spot on tub)

No idea on rim offset, but it looks pretty equal on each side. I think it a 10" wide rim, will know when I find steels and get these off.

I have a 9" wide rim with 255 60 17's with a 0 offset and they fit perfectly. The tire is about 10 1/2" wide total and it is dead center with a 0 offset. The measurements I have from the inside of the rear fender to the start of the wood in the bed is exactly 13" on mine.
