New AEV Wheel! WORTHLESS [for me]

I had high hopes for this wheel, but alas, the offset is in the wrong direction, -7mm. I was hoping for 35mm positive offset

Just saw these also and was hoping for at least +25 or something close to their 17” wheels. But makes sense for the 40s they’re more focused for. Back to figuring out if I want to find OEM 18s and powder coat them or get the 17” saltas and be stuck with maybe 2 tire choices in a 35”. Or keep the 20s and go 295/65/20

They’re made specifically to run load F 40” BFG HD terrains on trucks with the AEV flares.

I wish they made an 18x9" specifically for a 35 or 37x12.5 with the very least amount of decrease in backspacing to just barely clear the rubbing on the radius arms. People on here often talk about rubbing on the antisway bar, however, on my previous 2019 Ram 2500, my 35x12.50 on stock 18's only rubbed on the radius arms. I figure that a 18x9" wheel with 35mm positive offset would be perfect... this would move the tire out 19mm or about 3/4"
