Looks great!17x8.5" Icon wheels with 0 offset
35×12.50 Toyo Open Country Rt Trails
Just sidewall sticks out slightly! Need to put on big boy pants though, and trim the front bumper exactly like Axe did in his thread. Trimmed mine over the weekend and it's awesome to have a 35 and no rub at all at full lock! Thanks again for the great trimming info and pics, Axe.
Wow! Makes a huge difference.
As minimal as possible... Peak Performance 1 1/4" level plates and Cognito UCAs.
What brand spacers did you go with? This is the look that I am going for as well. Maybe upsize the tires to 285-295 as well.
Bora. They are American made. Seem like good quality.
I've used Boras and they are well made!
That offset looks perfect. Well done, sir. Reco on which spacers to use?
I have Method 17 x 8.5 with 0 offset wheels and BFG Ko2 295/70/17's. (33.3 x 12). I have no level or suspension mods, bone stock. The stance is flush with fender flares. No rubbing at all. How ever, its about as close as you can get without trimming. The 285/75's will most likely rub the front bumper.
Holy crap. Are these the 316's? That's the exact wheel I was looking at. Lol. Looks great!
Out of curiosity - did you feel any difference in ride before/after the plates went in?
They are 316's. I went with them because they only weigh 26 lbs. Thank you, I like how it looks too.
Strut spacers didn't make a difference, the control arms did. Steering is much smoother due to increased caster. Trucks overall ride is still great!
That edging looks pretty clean. I used paint on mine, but you can see the tape edge a little if you look close.
Thank you. Painted mine also but put edging on to just take up that little tiny space between the bumper and the liner on the inside! I think the 0 offset helped me in the back with the plastic in comparison to your -18. But I was so close I trimmed it in fear of articulating and tearing it off, lol! Thanks again for all your tips and pics on trimming, worked out great and loving the 35s.
Steve:
Rick, you have to consider tire width and offset of the wheel. Stock wheels are +26 offset. As you move the offset closer to 0 or into negative offsets you are moving the wheel away from the truck. This makes the outer edge of the tire swing in closer to the bumper. I think alot of the folks running the 295/70/18 tires with no triming are doing so on stock wheels or wheels with close to stock offset. I have method 316's 17 x 8.5 with 0 offet on my truck and the biggest tire I could fit with out triming was 295/70/17. Thats a 33.3 x 12 and its as close to the front bumper as possible with out any rubbing.
Yep, I don't have the peak kit, but my -12 offset Method 305s and 295s were right up against the corner of the bumper and plastic protector along rear of wheel well. It's just asking for trouble.
how much trimming did you have to do? Let's see that front wheel well.
