My turn for stupid wheel question

[ebg18t]

Yes.. I am going to be THAT guy.

Looking at 3 wheels options:

1. 17x8 -10 offset
2. 17x8 0 offset
3. 17x8.5 -6 offset

Tire will remain 255-75-17 BFG KM1

I am currently running OEM wheel with 1.25" AllPro Spacers

Assuming that OEM wheel is 17x7.5 30 offset it would appear option 2 would fit just like my OEM with spacer.

Option 1 & 3 would stick out ~0.25" further.

If I thought my next tire size 'might' be 275-70-17 should I choose option 1 or 3 to allow for more internal (body mount) clearance? Or just stick with option 2?

Or am I just over thinking this?

What is the backspacing on each wheel? Are you planning on reusing the wheel spacers?

What is the backspacing on each wheel? Are you planning on reusing the wheel spacers?

Wheel 1 = 4.1"
Wheel 2 = 4.5"
Wheel 3 = 4.5"

Not planning on using the spacers anymore.

 

[gshadow325]

Wheel 1 = 4.1" = -10 on a 8" wheel
Wheel 2 = 4.5" = 0 on a 8" wheel
Wheel 3 = 4.5" = -6 on a 8.5" wheel

Not planning on using the spacers anymore.

no spacers, -6 on a 8.5 will bring it out to fender line. 275 will allow it to tuck back in a little bit.

my truck is 285 on a 9" at 0 off set = 5" backspace. if you doing a 8.5 and -6 it will bring it back down in width but go back out to fender line with the offset.

i like it closer to fender line. i like it wider. i vote 3
