    Does anyone know who's truck this is? And or the specs on it? I really like the look of this and I think I'm going to head this direction with mine? Any help would be appreciated. Pretty sure it has a 6"db lift and 33" tires but the offset and or back spacing is what I'm wondering about.

    I am about to pull the trigger on some wheels and tires. Just wondering what would be the better option on backspacing.

    2008 TRD Double Cab 4x4

    I am going to run 265/70/17 BFG AT KO on 16x8 wheels

    The wheels are offered in 2 differnet BS

    BS 4 7/8" with a +10 offset
    BS 5 1/2" with a +25 offset

    No sure which wheel would keep the tires under the fenders

    Ok. First post, so please forgive me trying to run 17 inch tires on 16 inch wheels. I am really going to go with 17 x 8 Ultra Mammoth Wheels. I figure that will work a little better.

    Both will be still under the fenders. The 5"1/2 will sit further in.

    Thanks for the quick response. It turns out they only have the 4 7/8 BS in stock, so it looks like the choice has become a lot easier.

    Depends on the tire size. The wheels will stick out 2.5" more than your stock wheels

    17x9 offset -12 with bfg 305/70 on a 2012 fabtech 6".

    How many inches would this stick out? And would there be rubbing?

    Minor rubbing if any. The edge of the wheel will stick out ~3" more than stock.

    Im sure this has been answered somewhere but if some one could help me out that would be great. What offset/backspacing do i need to rock 285 70 17s without rubbing? I have 2" lift. I think someone said -6mm and 4.5" will work. Any help would be great. I have the tires. Want to buy rims but want to make sure they dont rub. Thank You!!

    You'll have a lot of cutting and chopping to do with only 2" of lift. even with 3" of lift and the properly backspaced wheels (4.5"), people still have to trim to avoid rubbing.
