    Looking to purchase some aftermarket wheels manufactured by Fuel.
    The only specs they make in style I want are:
    17x8.5
    -6 offset
    4.5" BS
    I'm want to run 265/70R 17's

    2015 TRD Sport with a 2" lift
    Will this setup work without rubbing or cutting?

    I really would appreciate any help. I feel like I need to go back to college to figure this offset/back spacing/wheel size equation.
    Thanks in advance for your replies.

    They should be alright. Thats basically the same size as a 265/75-16. The -6 offset will make them stick out a bit past the wheel wells. The factory wheels have an offset of about +30. Another words, they will stick out close to 1.5" further than factory.

    Which wheel are you looking at? I might be able to get you a deal.
    17" x 8.5" at -6mm might cause a small bit of rubbing at the end of your fenders while turning. Might require a small bit of trimming even with the stock tire size to the inner fender liner.

    I would recommend reversing your thinking.

    Determine the specs that you need to accomplish your goal. No rubbing, no spacers, hub centric, etc etc.

    Then shop based on those specs alone, and pick the looks that appeal to you.

    People driven by looks alone too often wind up with issues. And not just with wheels.

    No problem. Its a popular wheel by fuel. :thumbsup:
    Hopefully this will help you get an idea how the wheel will fit compared to stock and why there may be a bit of trimming required. Typically just the black plastic inner fender liner. Easy to do, I did mine with a basic pocket knife. Hopefully you also ordered a set of cone seat lug nuts to gow ith your wheels (M12 x 1.5)

    265/70R17 17" x 7.5" +30mm offset vs 265/70R17 17" x 8.5" at -6mm offset.
