    Hi, I've been looking at getting some Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's in 35x10r17 for my next tire. However, I've been struggling to find a good wheel to go with them. They recommend 7" width wheels but give a range of 6.5-8".

    This sparks the question, will narrow tires slowly become less niche and more the norm? Will this also drive wheel manufacturers to produce more narrow rim options as well? Or is this overly optimistic?

    Anyways, any good recommendations for narrower wheels would be much appreciated. Ideally 17x7, 17x7.5, or 17x8. Some slight negative offset (10-13mm?) to help clear a future rear shock relocation would also be nice. I like split 5 and 6 spoke designs similar to the new KMC Range and MR 702.

    Other skinny 35 recommendations are also welcome.
