Default level kit and wheel options

I will start and say I have a 03 Z71 and want to put a level kit on the front and some nice wheels. I have found a nice set of 18X10 wheels.

My question is the guy I buy tires from said on wheels I need at least a +10 offset so it won't rub. Well the wheels have a -18 offset. And the tires are going to be around 32in.

So will the wheels work? As far as the truck I just want it to have a nice set of wheels and a good stance. Thanks in advance.

What is your stock wheel size and offset. Give this link a try.

No. Need 6'' lift. No reason to try to stuff tires.

6'' lift, 8 inch wide wheel, 315/75/16 (35's) and looks clean.

35"s with a 3" BL and leveling kit will work with some trimming. Check out gmfullsize.com they have a good lifted suspension forum.
