-24mm offset will stick out a little more. My 22's are +14mm offset and are pretty near flush with fender tops. They are a 9.5" rim width, those are 10's. With 305's ( about 12" section width) there is about an inch to rubbing the leaf springs. Those will probably sit nice, you will be putting bigger meats on there so theres not much you can do with offset beyond that for basic stock clearance issues i'm thinking. The price is right for a couple track rims.

i guess you could get away with them being wider if you run a 28" slick or less otherwise you would eat fender!

Looks like they'd make some nice track wheels as long as the tires will clear, I wouldn't like them on the street daily though.

I believe the stick out like my 16x10 eagle alloys did (see vid on sig) and you will have the same issues I had with those, Eat fender...even with the air shocks pumped up. Once I got the caltracs on there it seems as it would work on the 6" drop cause they would hold the truck from sqatting but I now have an 8" drop. The other thing I know you'll hate is the mess you'll have all over your truck from the track burnouts, unless you don't mind adding that to the already P.I.T.A of cleaning a black truck. I'll rather sacrifice a little bite patch, got me a set of 16x8 5"b/s centerlines and am going to try those out.

No way, maybe good price but horrid looking in my opinion... reminds me of some of the trucks in mexico, small wheels small tires, it looks too much like an offroad wheel to me.
