you think they’d have any clearance issues on a 275/70r17 with a 17x8+35 offset?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. I'm on 285/70-17 with +35 offset.
My truck was lifted and front bars removed before I took possession so I have no reference on factory set-ups. On mine, I only had slight rub on the right side rear crash bar, so I probably could have left the rears in if I had 275/70 not 285/70.
Tires won't be an issue for calipers, they his suspension parts like UCA. Rim width isn't a factor for off-set.
As an update, I finally got my wheels and tires. Went with Method 703, 17x8.5 +35 with 275 70R17 milestar Patagonia atr. I will post pics soon. But this clears all the crash bars for me. I have a 2" lift via Fox suspension. 285 would have hit the front bars for sure
That is the exact wheel I'm trying to buy, the exact same part number. I currently have the bronze one in a 16 0 offset. I just need to know if a 12.5" wide tire will fit on that wheel in respect to the calipers only.
Photos or it didn't happen
Tires do not hit calipers.
Won't hit calipers, but not sure if that will clear the upper control arm.
Yah I didn't find much on here with people running even 285s with a plus 35 offset. I was worried if I ran a 285 (32.7" setup) I might not clear the UCA and I would hit the crash bars. I see now I could have cleared the UCA with a 285 easy, but definitely would have to lose the crash bars.
I'm running the same size tire on factory wheels, 2" lift.Superdannyboy, curious to why you where thinking of running the +35 offset wheels? I know the Baja kits says run a 4.75 backspacing but has any actually tried to put a high offset rim on with the Baja kits.
To me, I think the +35 offset should work. You have a longer lower control arm and longer upper arm. The uca and spindle are being pushed out the same, along with the brakes, rotors and all that. it’s not like the uca is protruding further than the spindle, or designed differently.
Have you tried mounting your stock wheels to the front to see if there is any clearance issues?
I’m running a 17x8.5 wheel +35 offset with 255/80/17. I get that the 285 is 30mm wider or a little more than half an inch either side but I think if I had the Baja kits LT kit the wheels and tires should still clear everything.
Sorry to hijack the thread with my Baja inspired dreams when most people here want to keep crash bars lol.Superdannyboy, curious to why you where thinking of running the +35 offset wheels?
