Do y'all think these 0 offset wheels will work on the Tremor?

[overanger]

I'd like to wheel match a soon-to-be ours teardrop from offgrid trailers:

Trailer runs 265/70/17 tire on 0 offset Pro Comp Rockwells:

These would push tires out about 2 inches from where stock tires are. I'd like to hear your input please in regards to possible clearance issues (crash bars, brake calipers?) with stock Tremor tire size (eventually, would prefer to run 285/70/17). Appreciate it.

Quick update - had Discount Tire swap the stock Tremor tire onto the new Pro Comp Rockwell wheel and do a test fit:

Poke isn't bad at all

Rubs (barely) both crash bars. I like the look and am considering BDS crash bars. Will update.

Looks good with those slightly extended Tremor wheel flares. I'd still get something a little closer to flush, but those look a lot better than a regular Ranger on 0 offset. You'll definitely need a crash bar delete or aftermarket high clearance ones.

Looks good @overanger. Thank you for your business.

And thank you @Discount Tire! You've certainly earned my business - I wasn't even charged for this test fitting! I'll come back once I figure out the clearances.

Just switched mine for these gloss black 18 inch wheels. I'm guessing they are a 0 offset.

A more aggressive tyre and will looks good. Are you going to keep the stock one?

I'm thinking so but not exactly for sure what I'm going to do. At this point I feel the black wheels need a bigger tire, or if I go back to the other ones I would get about the same size tire and put something more similar to the habkook Dynapro that doesn't grab so many rocks. Just not sure which wheels I like better. I like the black but I don't like that they suck in so far, and if I was to put a taller Tire on them it may rub in the front on the crash bars. Not sure but I'm thinking that without the offset that the stock Tremor Wheels have I wouldn't be able to run that size of tire without removing the crash bars. One thing is for sure I do not like the stock tires that come on a tremor. I will most likely get rid of those for sure.

What a mess, but the good thing you have both, just verify the tires. I'm looking for the tremor wheels alone or maybe wait for the part numbers and the availability of them.

Those look great. After doing the BDS crash bars I can say they are affordable, allow tires to not rub,
and are easy to install, BUT they are not nearly as confidence-inspiring as the stock bars. In other words, I don't think they're going to do a whole lot in a crash. I may look at replacing them down the line at some point. Good luck with the rest of your build!

I have 0 offset on 265/75/16 and it rubbed a good bit. I wanted to keep the factory crash bars for installed so I used the Steeda steering rack limiter shims labeled for a S550 instead. Very easy and cheaper than new crash bars too.

It looks to me like even with the tremor wheels the tires would rub with a 265/75r16.
The tires that come on the tremor are very close with the 265/70r17.
I'd like to put on a 265/75r 17 or r18,
But if I do I'll definitely have to do something with the crash bars.

Appreciate your input, thank you! I'm still undecided whether I'll replace factory crash bars, I too like the look but safety is an important issue to consider. Have you found a better solution? I believe there are other after market options (besides BDS), but without any meaningful crash-test data any of these manufacturer's claims are just that.

Don't these take away from your turning radius?

I'm in the same boat as you. I don't like the Fabtechs because you have to cut the factory nuts off. Still looking at the ReadyLift versions. It's hard to tell until you see them in person if they're constructed well.
