    This is my first post here at TW, so I apologize if this is a redundant question.

    I've recently purchased my first Tacoma, a 2015 Dbl Cab Off-Road 4 X 4. I'm looking to change out the stock 16" rims. I like the Fuel Coupler, all black. They are 17 x 9 with a 4.5" backspace and -12 mm offset. Will be running a 265/70/17 Goodyear Dura-Trac tire. Also will be changing the stock Off-Road Bilstein shocks for a set of Bilstein 5100's with the fronts set at 1.75" to level out the stance. I would like to leave the stock mud guards in place also.

    My question is will I have any clearance issues with the 9" wide rim adding in the Bilstein 5100's? Again I would like to retain the stock mud guards front and rear. Thanks!

    IMG_0008_7e02e148e585e5c9bd7cfdb18d729a883d2d34a8.jpg I have the same size Fuel wheels and 5100 Bilsteins. Running the same size tire but in a Hankook AT.
    No rubbing but remove the mud flaps, and the small flaps from the front.

    Edit to add: didn't actually rub but it was too close for me to leave them on.

    Might be ok on the street.

    I have 17x9 with 0 offset and they rubbed pretty bad off-road until I adjusted everything with SPC uppers.

    Have you ever had it off-road?
