Default Offset Question

Is there a place on here for determining wheel offset/backspacing? I know the ls1tech has a thread about it but I didnt see one on here. I am buying new wheels and want the proper wheel/tire combo before I lower the new truck I just bought. Thanks!

We are basically part of LS1Tech.com... I had a link on how to check BS and offset, can't find it right now. It's not hard to measure, just do a search. Here's a good site to compare tire sizes though:

what are you looking to go with? If you are wanting to tuck then 35mm of offset is optimal on an 8.5" rim, but as low as 18mm will tuck on an 8.5" rim.
