Not the best picture, Pro Comp 7031 17x9 -6 offset with 285/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers I also wanted a "deep lip" and these sure have that!

Well, here is my '05 with 285 70 17 Goodyear Duratracs. The wheels have a -12mm offset and the tires poke out of the wheel wells about an inch:

Hope that helps you out!
 
[MENTION=109843]montijo505[/MENTION] Did the -6 offset with the 285 tires present any rubbing issues that require modification outside of trimming plastic?. I've got a nerd boner for a set of level 8 Guardian wheels with a -6 offset.

Thanks in advance.
 
Nope just had to cut the inner bottom portion of the bumper, the bottom lip part of it, I'll send you some pics if you'd like so you know what I mean. Also just moved the liners forward didn't have to trim them!

You should just post those pics in this thread ;)
 
Sorry for the crappy pics. It used to come sort of at this angle and it would rub BAD!

Had to cut it at an angle to clear, can maybe do a little more you can't tell anyway

What would you guy's recommend for BFG AT 285/70/17 to get rid of the frame rub? Currently running stock wheels.

-6 or -10?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, thanks. I hate looking online and having no clue what to get. Lol I just know I need them to stick out 1.5" from stock.

Thats the same thing im looking for. I like the look of my 1.5" spacers and want to find a wheel and get rid of the spacers.
 
I don't know if this is helpful or not, if I've got it wrong somewhere, let me know.
I'm kinda working through this myself at the moment and besides pics of other vehicles which are helpful, I found this to help me as well.

First pic: +30mm is the stock wheel offset.
Add -12mm more to wind you up at 42mm total difference (matchpack added for perspective), or about 1 11/16 more or less:

Checking BFG's website for their 285/70/17, they state 11.5" section width on a 8.5" wheel, so about a 1" addition for both sides.
I'm sure you'd get some additional from true sidewall tire bulge.
I added an extra inch to wind up here, about 2 11/16" more or less
You would have to subtract back whatever tire overhang you presently have from your stock tire to your stock wheel.
I have a feeling that after you subtracted present tire overhang from present stock wheel from the 2 11/16",
then added in the true 285 sidewall bulge difference from the 1" I used, you'd probably wind up with even more than 2 11/16" in the end.
But this should get you in the real world boathouse, more or less :

The wheels below are: 17x9", 4.5" backspace and -13 offset. You can see the tire extends just slightly outside the wheel well.

HEY!!! Yours look like mine!!! In a few months :wave:

With this setup 17x9", 4.5" backspace and -13 offset you don't have any rubbing on the frame at full lock? Just triple checking before I pull the trigger on wheels.

IMHO it's all about the alignment. Unless you are setup exact it is hard to so definitely less/no. I have clearance on my setup.
 
True. I have EMU 884's 5150 set at .85 I believe. 885's in the rear.

PIA lol

Are you sure? Regular 5100 are height adjustable and could work with 884 (front springs); 5150 are usually used as a rear shock option, I haven't seen a set of those slotted for front use? 885's are also front springs, did you mean 895 rear?
