factory rims for 2x4 and 4x4 are all the same offset.
et35 aftermarket is very common use, but et30 at the rear makes it look muchoS At the front also possible but may require more archwork than rolling alone

Standard offset is 40mm. Try to keep it as close to that as possible, so you don,t upset your wheel alignment. Use a wider rim if youn want it to come out closer to the wheelarch instead. I use 8,25x19 with standard offset on my Saff.
