The best -38 offset wheels in this selection are the RockTrix RT117 wheels for Toyota trucks and SUVs, the RockTrix RT117 for Jeep models, and the ENIGMA PRO 17×9 wheel. Each has a negative 38 mm offset, but fitment depends on bolt pattern, hub bore, and vehicle requirements. The RTX RS02 and AVID.1 AV-20 listed below have positive 38 mm offsets, so they are not alternatives if you specifically need -38 offset. Check the wheel specifications and vehicle fitment before ordering.
| Wheel | Offset | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|
| RockTrix RT117 17×9, 6×139.7 | -38 mm | Specified Toyota and Lexus applications |
| RockTrix RT117 17×9, 5×127 | -38 mm | Specified Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator applications |
| ENIGMA PRO 17×9 | -38 mm | Buyers seeking an aggressive all-terrain-style design |
| RTX RS02 20×8.5 | +38 mm | Buyers comparing positive-offset fitment |
| AVID.1 AV-20 18×9.5 | +38 mm | Buyers comparing street-oriented positive-offset wheels |
RockTrix RT117 17×9 For Toyota And Lexus
This RockTrix RT117 has a 17×9 size, -38 mm offset, 6×139.7 bolt pattern, and 106.1 mm center bore. Its matte gunmetal finish and rugged off-road styling make it a candidate for buyers seeking a negative-offset wheel for listed Toyota and Lexus applications.
Best for: Owners of the specified Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, or Lexus GX460 model years who have verified their vehicle’s fitment. The product listing says it does not fit Land Cruiser models or vehicles with manual locking hubs.
Important limitation: Factory Toyota lug nuts are not compatible. The listing calls for conical-seat extended-thread lug nuts and warns that the shank must not exceed 0.34 inches or extend past the wheel’s back surface. Valve stems are not included; TPMS valve stems may be needed.
RockTrix RT117 17×9 For Jeep
For Jeep applications, this RT117 pairs a 17×9 wheel with a 5×127 bolt pattern, 71.5 mm center bore, and -38 mm offset. It has a matte black finish with a clear coat. The listing specifies compatibility with 2007–2026 Wrangler JK and JL models and 2019–2026 Gladiator JT models.
Best for: Jeep buyers who need the listed 5×127 pattern and want a negative-offset wheel. Choose it only after confirming the exact vehicle and installation requirements.
Important limitation: The manufacturer warns that these wheels extend past the fenders. They require cone-seat lug nuts; the listing notes that JK and JL/Gladiator models use different lug-nut threads.
ENIGMA PRO 17×9 With Simulated Ring
The ENIGMA PRO is listed as a 17×9 wheel with a 5×5 bolt pattern and -38 offset. Its matte black finish, simulated ring, and sculpted eight-spoke design provide a distinct appearance. The listing also describes patented High Strength Lip technology intended for all-terrain conditions.
Best for: Buyers prioritizing a bold, wide-spoke design and a stated -38 offset. It is one of the few listed products that matches the requested offset.
Important limitation: The provided product information does not specify center bore, backspacing, or vehicle applications. Confirm those details and the wheel’s complete fitment before purchase.
RTX RS02 20×8.5 Gloss Black
The RTX RS02 has a 20×8.5 size, 5×114.3 bolt pattern, 67.1 mm hub bore, and +38 mm offset. Its gloss black finish with a machined face distinguishes it from the matte off-road-style options. The listed load capacity is 1,793 pounds.
Best for: Buyers comparing offset specifications who need a 20-inch wheel with a 5×114.3 pattern. It is included as a clear positive-offset comparison, not as a -38 mm match.
Important limitation: Avoid this option if the vehicle specifically requires -38 mm offset. Positive and negative 38 mm offsets are different specifications and can produce different wheel positioning.
AVID.1 AV-20 18×9.5 Gloss Black
The AVID.1 AV-20 is an 18×9.5 alloy wheel with a 5×114.3 bolt pattern, 73.1 mm hub bore, 6.75-inch backspacing, and +38 mm offset. Its split-spoke styling is described as motorsport-inspired, and the listing identifies it for everyday driving or spirited use.
Best for: Buyers considering a wider, street-oriented wheel with positive offset and the specified bolt pattern. Its listed specifications make it useful for comparing fitment details, but it does not meet a -38 mm requirement.
Important limitation: Do not select it as a substitute for a negative-offset wheel without confirming the vehicle’s required offset and fitment.
Buying Guide: How To Choose -38 Offset Wheels
What does -38 offset mean?
Offset is the distance between a wheel’s mounting surface and its centerline. A -38 mm offset places the mounting surface toward the wheel’s inner side compared with a positive offset. Vehicle fitment depends on more than offset: wheel width, bolt pattern, center bore, and clearance also matter.
Which specifications should you check first?
- Bolt pattern: Match the wheel’s bolt pattern to the vehicle. The listed options include 6×139.7 and 5×127 patterns, which are not interchangeable.
- Wheel size: Confirm diameter and width against your vehicle’s requirements. The negative-offset products listed here are 17×9 wheels.
- Center bore: Compare the wheel’s center bore with the vehicle’s hub specifications. The listed RockTrix models have different bores.
- Lug nuts and clearance: Check seat type, thread, and any manufacturer-specific installation warnings. Also verify fender and suspension clearance.
Is -38 offset right for every truck or Jeep?
No. A wheel’s offset should match the vehicle, tire setup, and intended use. RockTrix warns that its Jeep wheels extend past the fenders, while the Toyota listing identifies vehicle exclusions and lug-nut requirements. Confirm fitment for the exact year and model before ordering.
