Offset rims and steering lock

I have Bronco 'Grizzly Claws' (235x85x16) fitted to my standard 1990 LR rims. This means I have lost some degree of steering lock. I can get my hands on some v.cheap Range Rover 'Rostyle' steel wheels. Are these wheels offset compared to the standard LR rims? Would I gain anything by fitting them? Am I better of buying a set of 8 spokes or modulars?

Cheers, Stew.

My vote goes for Wolf rims every time. The offset is about the same as most 8 spokes / modulars, but they look more standard so draw less attention to you. They're also a genuine landrover part which can make an difference to some stuff (that's more relevant on the back of a 110 if you want to carry the full rated load though, i'm told).

Not sure about the offset of rostyle wheels. Google should be able to help though.
