I have a Tremor. I have the 265/70-17 tires. I want to move them onto a set of aftermarket wheels that are 17x8.5" +25 offset instead of factory +55 offset. I have been reading through here and have gotten myself concerned that actually pushing the tire out one inch might actually cause me to rub the crash bars.

Anyone have some insight here?

I have Icon Rebound with +25 offset and Goodyear ultraterrains. Also Lifted 2 1/2 with Icon kit. Zero rubbing at all.

Pushing a wheel/tire out increases your scrub radius which “could” cause rub at full lock.

Well... we'll find out when I install the wheels I just bought! I'm hoping with the factory Tremor tire size I get lucky and can avoid cutting stuff I'd rather not cut.

Not that much of a difference, I think you'll be okay.

How much clearance do you still have? Considering this setup mentioned by OP but with 0 offset.. curious if it's super tight with +25
