-12 wheel offset

[scott_morris70]

so i have a 97 with a 3" toytec lift coil setup with aftermarket upper control arms that i just installed to replace a RC coil over lift spacer. the previous owner had installed what i think are 1.75 wheel spacer with newer tacoma 17 rims. i think the offset on those rims is like 30mm. I want to get new rims and get rid of the spacers. im looking at a wheel tire combo that is 16x9 285-75-16 but the wheel offset choices are 00 and -12. i was hoping for -6 do you think -12 is too much. anyone else running that with a similar setup?

Whats the width of your current wheels? Don't forget to take that into consideration.

-6 is going to fit differently on 6" wide wheel than on 8" wide wheel. the -/+ offset starts from dead center of the wheel. So 8" wide 0 offset wheel will come out 1" more than a 6" wheel

-6 to -12 offset is barley anything. Your talking less than a quater of a inch. Just get the -12 and remove the spacers. I will be running 17x9 -12 285' 17's once my lift is on next week.

I have 17x9 et0 with 315/70
I wish I would have gotten the -12, because the tires rub the frame at full lock. I'm sure 285s wouldn't though, because the 315s barely rub.
Do you have flares? The 9" wide wheel with -12 offset might stick out more than you'd like if you don't have flares.
The et0 will give you a smaller scrub radius than the et-12, and will give you more tire clearance.

yeah so my current wheels are 17x7.5 with a 30mm offset. (08 17" tacoma wheels) new wheels would be 16x9 -12 offset which is roughly a 1.6" difference according to the calculator i was using. i do have fender flares but i dont mind the side getting dirty. i like the wide look. i measured the distance between the tire and the new upper control arms and it is right at 1.75 clearance at ride height.

my next delema is the new Firestone Destination M/T2 or BFG TA KM/2 and 305/70-16 or 285/75-16

KM2's are being discontinued very very very soon. KM3 will be released in the "hopefully" near future.
Firestones IMO are garbage, but that is my .02 cents. If you want a good mud terrain, look at the Cooper STT Pro, one of my best sellers at work. Also I mean, lets be honest the KO2 BFG is probably the best tire. :banana:

You live in Phoenix right? Discount Tire country. Go see any one of those guys, they the best in the business.

yeah that would be a NO on the KO2 lol. what do you think of the cooper ST Max, or the MTP.

I'll second the STT Pro, running 265/75/16s now, love them.

 

[spoonsports86]

i have 18x9 -0 offset wish it was more like a -6 or -10 offset

but i sit flush with 275/70/18 = 33.19

MTP is made exclusive for discount tire. Its just a remake of the STT. I would personally go with the STT pro over the MTP.
