    I just put a set of fuel rims
    17x8.5 with a 25mm offset
    Tires are 265 70 17 bfg k02
    When I feel behind the tire it's super close to the steering knuckle the is a bump thing on the kunkle and my finger barely fits.
    Should I be concerned it's not rubbimg but will it if I go off roading?
    Any info would be great.

    25mm offset?? That cant be correct. Which Fuel wheels are you running? I have a set of Fuel Trophy 17x8.5 -6mm offset - the shoulder of the tire is right in line with my fender flare. negative offset makes the center line of the wheel farther out away from the suspension. Positive offset puts the center line of the wheel closer to the suspension or in other words a more narrow track. 25mm off set... are you sure it's "25mm"?

    Damn that's close. You might need a spacer. My 17x8.5 wheels have a -10mm offset.

    Ya that numb that you see in the pic is close the tire place assured me that it will not rub.
    They said if it does not touch now it will never.

    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    Likely is ok but I'd drive one front wheel up a ramp or something to flex suspension and confirm tire doesn't rub.
