Which offset to run?

[AThomas0312]

Hello all, welcome to my first post!

I need your help/opinions/expertise.....We have a 2003 Sport Edition and recently installed a 3" lift. We have JBA UCAs and running the stock sport 17" wheels. We now have 285/70R17s on the way and I am a little worried about rubbing (UCAs in particular) ....i know the usual fender/mud flap stuff and possible body mount chop....Is there an optimal offset to run compared to the stock 5MM offset?

I'm still running the stock 265/65/r17s but the wheels I have are a 17 by 8 with -10 offset and it just barely pokes out past the fender flares. It looks really good but the tires almost rub the fender liners so just a heads up

Lots of guys run 17x8 +0 or 17x8.5 +0. I like my 17x9 -12.

Stock is 30mm (17x7.5", 30mm offset)

My current wheels are 17x8.5,-10mm offset and they are perfect imo. SCS nailed wheel offset.


0 or -10mm offset on an 8" or 8.5" wheel should be good.

Thanks, y'all, for the input. we ended up with American Racing 17x8 with 0 offset.
we do have rubbing, but not on the UCAs. Now just to do the body chop mount and fender stuff.

Im a fan of those bajas and running them myself (same size & offset) on a 5th gen. Looking good!
