+18 vs 0 offset rubbing

I’m deciding between 2 wheels that are both 17x8.5 and wrapping them in 265/70r17 tires. My truck is still stock, so my question is will the +18 offset with 8.5 wide wheels rub on any inner components? Also will it still rub on the mud flaps? I know the 0 offset wheels will rub on the mud flaps but I’m cool with hitting them with a heat gun to clear the tires.

 

No +18 will be fine you can run a 265/70r17 on a +33 and not rub.

My 17x9 +1 set up barely rubbed the mud flap. Ended up changing them to a wider rock blokz to help with rocks on the side of the truck though

 

Thanks! Did you get the large or extra large set of Rokblokz?

 

XL, they worked really well untill I went to 295's.

 

Sweet set up dude, I like the darker bronze on the mgm. Do you think the xl will look too big with 265 tires? I may go up whenever I decide to upgrade my suspension

 

That set up is a 265/70r17. I have always been a rally fan so big flaps looks good to me. But the good news is I was able to juuuust fit a 285 with them still on.


That is with the 285's same wheel.

 

Oh sick, thanks for the help man. I’m gonna grab those rooblokz forsure

 

I rubbed pretty good with my 285 tires on 0 offset wheels. Little more than just cutting a mudflap. Took a very good alignment to bring the caster forward to clear everything even with a 3” lift.

 

Good thing it's a 265 were talking about here
