looks good brah

It does look good IMO too.... which is why I was thinking of getting 17x9's with the -38mm cuz its basically the same, just more "lip" on the 9" wide wheels.

The 28mm difference is just over 1", plus you get 1/4" cuz it's wider which is effectively the 17x8.5" with the 1.25" spacer.

thanks for your insight! Time to save some $$$ for a BMC and new wheels lol

trimming the bumper required to fit 285s?

Yes, I put 265 K02's on my 4Runner with stock suspension/lift. Tires rub only when backing up on a slope and wheel cranked to the right.

Wanting a steel bumper to provide extra wheel clearance but would need beefier springs and shocks at the same time... Hoping Bitcoin goes up

Depends on your wheel choice and lift height.

SCS 17x9 -38, stock Pro, but open to the Toytec TRD Pro lift if needed

It will require body mount chop. Mudflap removal and bumper/ fender trim. I had to do all this with 3” lift and I have aftermarket upper control arms set at 2 deg.

I suspect you would have major rub issues on a stock height truck with that combo even if you do the mud flaps, trim, and BMC.

@Louisiana Overland did you need to get extended lug nuts for these rims? Debating between the ray10’s or the F5’s

Its a spline lug nut. Scs can tell you what you need. Email them. Speedy replies.

Louisiana Overland, I love the wider stance of your rig.

Do you have any regrets on your 285/70/r17 tire and SCS Ray 10, 17x9 wheel choice so far?

Does the 17x9 SCS stick out about as much as a 17x8.5 SCS with a 1.25" spacer?

Have you fully flexed your suspension with this set up? if so, with your 3" lift, aftermarket UCAs and body mount chop do you rub/hit anything when the tires are fully stuffed up into the wheel wells at full flex?

I'm thinking about running an Icon Stage 7 lift, CBI front and rear bumpers, the SCS Ray 10's (17x9, -28mm offset, 3.5" backspace) with Cooper ST Max 285/70/R17s but want to make sure I can fully stuff the wheels into the wells without tearing off a fender at full flex.

Thanks for the info.
