5th Gen Wheel & Tire Thread

Hey folks, some of the other gens have official threads like this, can we please get one started here? I'd like to try out the following format if you would oblige me with the following information:

- Wheel make, model, size, backspacing/offset (+ spacers, if applicable)
- Tire make, model, size
- Suspension (if applicable)
- Photo(s)
- Body mount chop (if applicable)
- Do your tires rub?


Example (I have OE wheels/tires so I'll spare you):

Wheels: Procomp 7069 17x9 4.75 backspace/-6mm offset
Tires: Goodyear Duratrac 285/70/17, D
Suspension: ICON Stage 5, but with their tubular UCA and no trailing arms yet.
Body Mount Chop: None
Tire rub: Haven't wheeled it with this setup yet, but on the street I've only heard it rub once, but I was turning and braking spiritedly and simultaneously.
Fenders: Trimmed about 1/2" on that bottom front lip
Mud flaps: Removed fronts for now, they were rubbing

These shots show the wheels and tires pretty well.

I don't off-road mine it's mostly for pleasure cruising and vacations. When it's time to hang out in the boonies/hunting/camping/fishing/4wheeling, I hang with my buddy's, with their 4wheelers..
 
You guys are awesome, thanks for participating! No sweat on the on-road vs off-road setups, I think both would be extremely helpful here.

I made an edit, adding a line item for any applicable suspension mods, since it's such a critical aspect of wheel/tire fitment. Anyhow, keep 'em coming folks, your help is much appreciated.
 
I'll Play!

If I may make a suggestion.
We should put some general wheel, offset/back spacing information on here.
Those questions come up a lot and I myself had posted plenty about this topic in the past looking for info. Including fitment issues and tire size topics.

Thoughts?!

I think the first person to post Konig Countersteer Type X's with 285 GY Duratracs will instantly cover 90% of the 5th gen section...
