Best offset to be flush with 285s

So who got some wheels with -10 offset and 4.1 BS?

My (terrible) math had them sticking out a shit load. Now this thread got me more confused.

If you mean -10 with 4.3 inch backspace it is everyone with SCS wheels. I haven't found a wheel with -10 4.1. Shouldn't make much of a difference anyway.
 
Anyone running the new 17x9 from SCS pics pls. Rubbing issues??

If you're talking about the 17x9 -38 3.5BS, there is no way those will fit without modification. If you're looking at putting those on you should probably be prepared for bumper trimming, fender liner mod, mud flap removal and bmc. But damn they look so good

FX Pro 17x8 wheels with 4.5" backspacing and 0mm offset fit just inside the fenders with Falken Wildpeak A/T3. This wheel is specific fit for 4th and 5th gen 4runners for larger tires and no spacers. The tire design can also impact this some as a tire with a lot of side lugs/features can stick out more at the sidewall and still be a 285 tire.

I have almost the same specs but with -10 offset Level 8 MK6. To me with the 285 Wildpeak I notice tire wall poke past the fenders.
 
Not only does flush depend on what tire brand you choose and what offset rims you decide to run, your eyes may play tricks on you, depending on how you view a vehicle from straight ahead or from the rear or from the sides.

Rims spec: f5 17x8.5 -12 offset w/ 1.25 spacers, which puts my offset close to -40.

IMHO: 0 offset is flush with the fender (depending on tire), but not when viewed from different angles.
-12 offset gives you a little bit of pokage (depending on tire) and look flush from most angles.
-38 gives you about 1 and 1/2 inches of pokage (depending on tire), and will also look poked out when viewed from most angles (except when I take a photo of my rig from the front or rear).

With 285 on 8" wide -10 offset your tire tread will be sitting directly under the fender. The tire wall poke will be exposed beyond the fender.
I recommend you maxing out your caster above 4.0 with after market ucas to prevent body mount contact on reverse full locked decline driveways turns. You might hear a slight front fender liner rub but that can be remedied. Freeway driving would feel solid as well.

Yes tire models like bfg k02 will have a skinnier profile but you get the idea. I believe it's more accurate to judge the poke from the rear with the assistance of the the body lines but yes our eyes do play tricks on us.

My buddy has the f5 -38 and he required a bmc on 285 70 17 C nitto ridge grapplers. Caster set to D: 4.2 P: 4.4
 
So I spotted this in NJ today. Has 285s with what appears to be 17x9 +1 wheels. I think a -6 offset is what I'm looking for.

I'm new here. This post has been giving me some great info. I have a chance to get a set up of 275/70r17 fallen wild peaks on a set of 17x8.5 fuel wheels with 4.5 back spacing and a -6 offset? Everything I've seen is for 285s... will that set up work stock without spacers no rubbing? Thanks guys.

The answer is it might. Every vehicle is different, but I would say odds are it will not rub. You won't know until you put them on. If it does rub some, it will be an easy fix (fender liner mod).

Whatever you decide on, make sure the wheels are:

At least 9" wide
Black
Equipped with fake beadlocks
And have a ridiculous offset and backspacing when compared to stock

This seems to be what all the cool kids are doing these days.

:lol:
 
I have 285/70r17 with wheel that is 9" and offset at 18mm, leaves me with a backspace of 5.71.

I had to modify the fender liner and take off the mudflap, with that I have zero rub.
 
Are you using JBA off-road UCAs? What suspension? What mods did you have to do to prevent rubbing? Thanks

Yes i have the JBA arms with caster set at 4 degrees, the suspension is the OME 3" lift with heavy springs up front. I also took off the stock mud flaps as it rubbed ever so slightly in reverse at full lock
 
any wheel with 4.5'' and an offset of 0 to -12 is going to work if you don't run a spacer. 12 is a 1/4'' each side.......you aren't going to see the difference.
