I’m thinking Fifteen52 wheels, anyone have experience?

[MMorf]

I have a stock 2019 FX4 Lariat 4 door and I’m looking at the Fifteen52 Turbomac HD Classic. I have NEVER replaced wheels on any vehicle I’ve owned and I will fully admit I know nothing about offsets, spacers, etc. I really want to go with slightly taller and wider tires than stock and thought 275/70r17’s. I think most people are sticking with 265/70r17’s on stock Rangers. Do the aftermarket wheels make bigger tires an option or does it hurt that option. Thank you all for the information you can provide.

I just purchased them myself. Big summer sale made me pull the trigger (25% off and free shipping)

One of them arrived with bit of a scratch/paint issue (on the inner lip) and they sent a replacement no questions asked, free of charge, same day, AND a free shipping return label for the damaged one. they've earned my repeat business for sure.

They are 0 offset, lug pattern 6x139.7 (rangers and tacomas) which will push the wheels out abut 2 inches and 4.75 backspace (to move away from the spindle for wider tires)

I ordered some hub centering rings and new tapered lug nuts as the oem ones wont fit and aren't very good. I can send you links if need be.

You can go to that size with factory wheels. Depending on the offset will also depend on the size without other modifications. With that said if you did not raise the front at all I believe the max you can fit is 265/70-17

@Urabus33 - Thank you for the information. What size tire did you go with? Do you have any lift in your truck or any pictures you can share?

@Frenchy - Your are a wealth of knowledge as always. With tires that are 275/70r17, what would be the rub points causing it to be too big?

@MMorf I have all the parts waiting in my garage to go on the truck, hopefully later this week.

Will gladly share pics then I am done, I went for a 285/70/17 BF Goodrich KO2

I am pairing them with an already-installed Eibach pro-truck coilover leveling kit

If the front isnt lifted I believe the the problem will be the tire bottoming out and hitting the fender well when going ove bumps and stuff. Other then that I dont think there would be an issue

 

[MMorf]

@Frenchy - I hadn't really thought about that aspect. Through reading all of the threads here it always seems a rubbing on the crash bars is a big deal to everyone.

@Urabus33 - I look forward to seeing the pics.

On the 2019 i had I installed the Old Man EMU lift and had 265/70-17(1st picture) along with 285/70-17(2nd picture). Both on sport wheels with no spacers. If anything I had to remove the plastic cover on the dront crash bars and push them forward a little. That was needed for the 285/70-17's. Did it rub? Only a little on the frame at full lock. Other then that I had no issues.

Also the Old Man EMU lift brings the front up 2.4 inchea and the rear 1.4 inches.

Zero offset will poke about an inch, totally destroy your paint with flung debris, and screw up your scrub radius (Google if you don't know how important this is). Stick with stock wheels and add one inch wheel spacers (no more, no less) to clear larger tires and provide correct scrub.

I have the 18” Lariat wheels that I can’t stand. So they are getting changed at some point no matter what. I happen to love the Fifteen52’s and want information on how to run those wheels.

You can't run zero offset wheels without destroying your paint and screwing up your stability under braking. Look for an option that's +25 or 35 if you must shell out hundreds for lower quality aftermarket wheels.

Well, that's not true at all. I have 0 offset wheels, and my paint and braking are both 100% after 10,000 miles. Just throw on some fender flares (RTR) or, at minimum, some mudflaps, and your paint will be A-ok.

Not sure where you get your braking theory from, that little bit of offset its going to affect anything. I sure haven't noticed and we often tow a 6000lb camper as well.

@ReigleCM - Thank you for the input. If you don’t mind me asking what size tires and lift do you have?
