What width is the wheel? Offset is in correlation to width also to check for clearance.
Yep 17x8.5. slightly more backspacing than stock plus I have a 2 inch lift. Seen some guys run 275/70R17 with +15? And move the crash bars forward (front)
Not sure I totally follow. Stock is +55 so going to +35 is gain of 20mm clearance. Minus 1/4" from wheel width (say 6mm). I net 14mm of space from the spindle. You think the actual tire will hit the uca?
So you'll move the tire a few mm closer to the suspension, which will require a small spacer to clear the control arm on a 285-70-17 tire. 5mm spacer is required for the factory 17x8 et50 with a 285 so add the 9mm back and you'll need at least least 15mm spacer now.
Tire will poke out 21mm more on the new wheels which would be fine, except you have to add the spacer width so that'll bring you out to "at least" 35mm or so.
...nevermind I get it, missed your second reply
That image is perfect. From 265/60-18 to 285/70-17 the inner side wall will move 10 mm farther out from the suspension, and the outter sidewall will move 30mm farther out.

Man, that fitment is perfect to me. Thanks for the info, this is really helpful. Also is that a Warn Ascent bumper? Looking good man ?That image is perfect.

No problem.
Yep, that would be me - rears were still close but to be safe, I installed ReadyLIFT crash bars because I knew they would rub while off-road. That size of tire and lower offset is better suited to a 3” lift than my 2-1/2” level.
