    5/15 tint, NFab step bars, Viper SST, Weathertech floor liners, Toyo A/T IIs on 17x9 XD Menace wheels. Lift - SPC LR UCAs, Wheelers 3 pc AAL, OME N140s, N182 and 885 w/ TP spacers.
    I am looking at the Fuel Kranks in a 17x9 and there are three options.

    The three options are :
    1) Offset -12, BS 4.5
    2) Offset 1, BS 5
    3) Offset 20, BS 5.75

    I called MHT and was told the +20 w 5.75 BS was the one to go with, but I read here that over 5 BS would cause problems - Need good info.

    My lift will be OME coils & shocks, LR UCAs, and want to put on Duratrac 265/70/17, this is a 2012 DCLB 4x4.

    I would like to keep the tires/wheels IN as close to stock as possible, NOT sticking out like 2" or more.

    Which would be best?

    Sorry if this has been covered, searched several hours and looked at many pics, but still need info for right choice...
    Thanks!

    265/70/17 duractracs are not approved for 9" wide wheels, as per the goodyear website.

    That being said, any of those EXCEPT the 3rd one will work.

    The second one will stick out less than the first, but still will stick out 2+" more than stock.
