Default 07 Tahoe Wheels & Backspacing

Does anyone know what the correct backspacing is for 22" X 9.5" wheels? I see them listed with like +40mm and +12mm? I don't understand that stuff. I assume the +40mm would stick out, so the +12mm is what I would be looking for? I DO NOT want the wheels to stick out past the fender.

This would be on an 07 NNBS Tahoe, which I would think is the same as all the 99 & up NBS?

TIA,
S.C.

The more offset the more the wheels tuck into the fenders. You will want to go with a +40 if you don't want them to stick out.

And the 07+ trucks/suvs use a larger offset than the pre 07s to tuck. A lot of the pre 07 guys are actually using the cast 07+ wheels since they are cheaper than billets and still tuck.

the 07's have a wider track, hence more offset needed to keep the wheels inside the
fenders
