17x8 or 17x9

I have the Eibach set up. Bilstein's at .85, drivers spacer. TSB in the rear. Truck sits nice and level. Also have Light Racing UCA's installed. So which size wheel should I go with? I like the ATX Ledge in 17x8, the ATX slot in 17x8 or 17x9. Moto Metal 951 in 17x9. Going to go with BF Goodrich A/T 265/70/17

 

I'd personally go with a 17x8 wheel if it was an option in the wheels I wanted. Having said that, I have 17x9 951's. 17x9 is fine, there are just more tire options available at the 265/70/17 size for 8" wide wheels.

 

Ive got pro comp 17x9's and love them. Im also wearing 265 70 17 duratracs that are only recommended for up to 8.5" wide rim. I love the wide stance it gives it but like I said I am slighty out of the manufacturers suggestions.

 

I almost ran the same setup (rim width to tire size), until I learned about the recommended width for those tires. It was not a chance I was willing to take (running them outside of spec). Those tires are sick though, wish they were designed for a 9" wid wheel.

 

Thanks everyone. So pretty much down to the new ATX Ledge or Slot 17x8

 

Hows your ride with the lift set-up? any vibrations?
I an about to install the same set-up and wondering about the vibs.
I won't go the new UCS route just yet, will see if it will align in spec first.

I am also looking at whether to go with 17x8 or 17x9 for the BFG AT KO wheels at 275/70/17 size. I understand the need to stay in specs for the tire, but much more selection at the 17x9 size.

Thx

 

with that tire size but most run the 8" width

 

Love the ride, no vibes, no issues at all.

 

I have 17x9 wheels with 265/70/17 duratracs, yes a bit wider then suggested but I have 0 issues

 

What is the offset on your 17x9...(-12mm)?

Thx

 

you are correct
