Did you go with the same offset as the wheels you're taking off?
Now that I'm thinking about this, since these are 8.5, not 9.5, I will need a half-inch spacer to keep my same stance, won't I?

that's a great question. I suck at offset.
Same, this shit always confuses me lol, guess I'll find out in the morning. I haven't found any .5 inch spacers, only 1 inch, and I'm thinking that's too much. hmmm

meant to quote this one here but what are the specs of both wheels and tire size? i have a calculator that will roughly show the difference


but without knowing the dimensions the thing that will change is how the tire looks on the 9.5 the tire will be a perfect square look vs a 8.5 will sunk in towards the wheel

The old wheels are 9.5 wide / +6 offset / 5.49 backspacing
New wheels are 8.5 wide / +0 offset / 4.75 backspacing

sadly this wont show backspacing but overall it shouldnt be to off maybe? with you taking away a inch in wheel width you make up in offset so you should poke the same or right around the same the only difference will be the way the tire looks mounted on the wheel

Slowly coming along. Got the new wheels on. Got the new Raptor grille coming in next week. Can’t wait for the canopy camper to get done in June so the dang rear sits lower, the rake is killing me.

Installed my SVC light mounting bar and my amber offroad lights. Won't be able to wire them up until next week; still waiting on my harness and switches.

nvm about asking if it was the svc light bar i have found out lol looks good thou man!

only question i have is the cali raised switch kit did any of you guys get instructions with em? i was part of when they first announced those kick starter and i got no instructions so i still have it sitting in a box in the basement but mine also is designed differently mine is a direct rip off of a switch pro so when they started the production they got a lawsuit and dropped em for awhile...

Exactly the same as it was! Quite happy how that turned out. Yup it’s the SVC bar, it will work with winches, I have mine sitting in the garage waiting to be installed but waiting for it to warm up.

Camper will be installed hopefully 1st weekend in June.
