    Hey guys,

    First post and I'm going to beat a dead horse but I need some advice. Finaly pulling the trigger on some new rims I'm looking at dirty life mesa's 17x9 0 offset 5 backspacing.
    I would be putting my 265/70/17 kO2's on them. I drive a 17 trd sport with a leveling kit.

    Any one running a similar setup? How much rubbing should I expect/ modification needed.

    Thanks in advance

    The Dirty Life Mesa is a fantastic looking wheel. Forum members that are using the zero offset wheels are having to mod the mud flaps or remove them. Otherwise it would be a solid fit.

    Thanks so much for the info, based on my calculations it will stick out an extra 49.05 mm. Sound about right? Been trying to find pictures of guys running the same setup.

    The other set I have been considering are the fuel vector in either:
    17x8.5 +7 offset and 5.03 backspace should poke aprox 35.7mm

    17x8.5 -6 offset and 4.51 backspace Should poke aprox 48.7mm

    I really want to achieve a flush look with the fenders or very slight poke without having to do any major modification. I appreciate the insight, specs can be pretty overwhelming

    I wish the rims I wanted came in these specs' the ones posted above and in my original post are what I have to work with. Any opinions on what I posted?

    Try to stay with a zero or positive offset to avoid going outside the fender. Fuel Vector +7.

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    065/70/17 KO2's on American Racing Baha's 17x9 -34 offset. I did do the can mount chop and flattened the pinch weld for the KO2's, but didn't have an issue with the Dueler Revo 3's when they were on. Wheel stops at the fender flare edge. (Pic with the Revo 3's)

    Thanks for the help everyone. Decided on the 17x8.5 +7 fuel vectors in gunmetal

    Just wanted to confirm if I measure out from the widest part of the side wall on my tire 36mm that's how much extra "poke" I will gain?

    Sorry for the delayed response, but absolutely. If you want the assembly, as a hole to poke further so it's even with the fender, you would decrease the offset.:thumbsup:

    I changed my mind again haha I think I'm going to go with . 17x8.5 -6 offset , from pics I have seen it will poke but not super aggressively. Will have plenty of UCA clearance, I'm assuming mudflaps and air dam will need to go?
