    I have a 6 lug tacoma that will have the stock uca's but the Toytech BOSS suspension 3" lift. I want to run this wheel from fuel off road, D53417909850: 17x9 6x139.7 ET: 1 with a 265x 70x 17 nitto grappler a/t. With a relentless custom front and rear bumper. :D

    Does any body Have this setup or something similar? :confused: Can I get pictures on how much they stick out and what trimming I might Have to do? I am shooting for as little triming as possible. I have been doing home work and havn't found any other leads saying anything negative.

    Any help world be great.

    I have 17x9s with 265/70/17s.. on a 3" OME lift. I needed to trim my front mud flaps enough just to get rid of them all together. You will also need to cut a small triangular piece of the inside plastic fender as it will rub.

    Depends on your wheel specs and tire tread type. I know guys running stock 17" wheels or similar specs with 265 70 17 with no lift and no trimming or mud flap removal. +25 mm offset wheels in 17x8-8.5 work great for this.

    What offset are you running? Mine will probably be a +1
