If i want my tires to stick farther out do i want the offset of my rims in the negative or the positive? also the back spacing. do i want the rims to have a bigger backspace or a smaller backspace thanks

A smaller backspacing will make the wheel stick out further. For example, a 2" backspacing will stick out 2" further than a 4" backspacing.

The backspacing can be measured by laying the wheel down with the inside facing up. Then measure down to where the bolt holes are.
