Help deciding wheel offset??

Hi all,
I would like to upgrade to new wheels and tires for my 21 off-road. After doing a ton of research I have decided on the relation racing rr7-h with the -0 offset. Unfortunately they only have -12 offset in the color I want. Will these work on my stock suspension Tacoma? Tires I have decided to go with 265/70/17 wildpeaks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

I'd take -12 over 0 any day of the week.

They'll work however the front mudflaps will need to be removed and possible minor plastic trimming past that if you still rub. Should all be minor though.

 

This may or may not help...

 

Turn your wheel to closest point of contact.
Use a 1" block on the outside of the tire closest to point of contact and 1/2" passed the diameter. This is roughly where the 0 offset will be.

Use a 1.5" block, 1/2" passed for -12 offset.

 

IMHO -12 is perfect. I was on the fence between that and a zero offset.

Like others mentioned, remove the mud flaps and trim the lower fender flare if it rubs. I’m running a 285/70R17 with an aftermarket upper arm and trimming. I didn’t need a cab mount chop.

 

Perfect.

 

I think the -12 vs 0 offset is going to boil down to how much you care about your paint. I have the 0's in my cart rn, because I honestly don't want to increase the chances of chips and scratches any more than necessary and it's a daily so there will be plenty of road thrown up. Will also be running 265/70 17 to keep weight off and try to preserve mpg's. Considering my stock wheels are sporty's, going 0 from +25 will look much better especially since it went up on 6112/5160's 2 weeks ago.
I also know people that are on their 2nd set of bearings with less than 100,000 miles thanks to Dakars. Can't imagine having to swap out bearings half way through the life of a tire. All this is why I'm leaning towards 0, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet because negging does look incredible and the kid in me wants them regardless of the bearing situation.

 

Go for Goldilocks or baby bear: in the middle:

Level 8 Trackers are 16 x 8.5
They are -6 Offset and 4.51" backspace and stick out an inch or 2 on 265/75/16
Zero issues with chipped paint on the fenders, but it gets dirty very easily sticking out of the fender.
