0 offset will clear the tie rod. The originals, at least on my 1-ton were set inboard about 1/2 inch. I can't remember if that equals plus or minus 1/2 inch but it's inboard. 3/4-tons had 17" wheels as an RPO they are the same wheels as a 1-ton. If you get wheels that are set outboard more than 0" it negatively affects steering. Makes it hard to keep it going straight in ruts.
