The rear crash bars are often the culprit. Do you still have them? Don’t mind removing them if you do?

That would open up a world of options.
Id consider it.

Stock offset is +55mm, i.e. the wheel sits 55mm past center inboard. I wouldn't go past 0 offset and into negative territory because it can cause issues with rubbing, accelerated wheel bearing and suspension wear. Plus you'll need wider flares if you want to cover them.

Zero offset on a 9.0" wide wheel would be 4.5" backspace.

I'm leaning towards the 6mm offset wheel. ?

Since Jack is giving you those flares, the least I can do is lend you my angle grinder and sawzall for those rear crash bars. It’s going to look great!

I have the +6 Armory with Falken 285/70/17. They do poke out from the fender but nothing to aggressive. I'll try to add pictures this evening. You can see how the Armory wheels look though from my profile pic. Very happy with the setup.

I appreciate it! I love the design on both the Armory and the Arsenal wheel. One is +6mm offset (Armory) and one is -18mm offset (Arsenal). I think I like the design of the Arsenal slightly more than the Armory but I feel like the Armory may be the "play it safe" wheel at +6mm offset. And then at a later date, I can upgrade to a 33" or 34", 285 tire!!!!
