    I was hoping to find some rims that would help counteract the track width gained from long travel. I am heavily leaning towards the +2" total chaos setup, but I don't like an unnecessarily wide stance. Their website lists 17" rims can have 4.75" backspacing.


    Currently I am running these fn wheels:

    17″ Konig Countersteer Type X
    Diameter: 17″
    Width: 8″
    Offset: -10mm
    Backspacing: 4.1″
    Bolt pattern (PCD): 6×139.7mm
    Center bore: 106.2mm (Toyota hub centric)
    Wheel weight : 20.9lbs (approximate)

    So I think I would want 17x8 with a +5mm or +6mm offset to get slightly more backspacing and bring them closer into the wheel well.

    I can find rims that fit these specs but they don't generally post their weight easy to find. I am willing to pay extra for lighter weight rims. I'm already running 35s so I want to reduce weight as much as possible.

    I figured people here might have ideas on lightweight rims that would work. I realize this is only a half inch or 15mm difference

    Thanks! It was pretty scratched and dinged up from offroading I figured if I'm repainting might as well have fun with it. So I had them use the 1st gen's purple color code. So it's a bit of a throwback too
