16x8/17x8 0 offset rims

Does anyone have a front profile pic available of rim specs stated above? Wanting to see how far these poke out of the fenders on a stock 3rd gen.

 

They're about flush with the fenders.

 

FX Pro 17x8 zero offset. 285/70/17 BFG KO2

 

How close is the UCA to that tire?

 

Hey, what wheel is this? Hard to tell from these pics, but it looks RPF1ish..

 

Old pic of mine, but...

Same wheels, different view

 

Enkei RPT1.. the truck version of the RPF1

 

Lift?

 

The FX Pro 17x8 zero offset gives about an 1” of clearance between the stock UCA and the tires. Enough room that I think I will buy a 305/65/17 tire next time I am in need of tires.

I did the CMC right away before I even test drove my truck with the larger tires. Back in my rock crawling days we tested for tire clearance by cycling the suspension with out the spring or with just the main leaf to a leaf pack. I took my stock shocks out and quickly bolted the control on and tire back on without the shock and coil attached. Then with the jack stand still under the frame cycled the tire up and down with my floor jack. Turning the tires full lock at top and bottom of the travel. Zero rubbing makes for a more enjoyable truck.

The cab mount should have been moved further back from factory in my opinion.

Good luck with whichever tire wheel choice you go with.

 

I have Bilstein 5100’s set at the third notch, stock springs, about 1.5”. Then a 1” body lift. Truck sit nice and level, rides better that stock and has the look I am going for.

 

Ahh that's awesome, thanks! I've never seen them before... Now I want them.

 

They’re nice and light too.

 

I used a ToyTec body lift. It came with all hardware for the body, radiator, fuel filler neck and clear instructions. The install is pretty easy just take your time and follow the directions.

You have to loosen the steering column joint and allow it to expand when you raise the body. I have not relocated my rear bumper yet. It does look a little low but not very noticeable unless you are looking for it. You can see the rear bumper hanging down in the picture above.

On the radiator I used the lower bracket but redrilled the core support for the upper mount.

 

Anyone running 17x8 zero offset wheels and 33x12.5 tires with stock UCA? I know clearance will be tight. Hoping someone has already tried it?
