New Taco join the wheel dillema with the masses.

Yes I searched... I have searched and searched and searched. Had email exchanges with many Tire and wheel suppliers. I nearly went to the ends of the earth to find a Toyota engineer to ask them WTF is up with the tight tolerances the wheels/Tires are nested in. I have not found conclusive info so I am going to just ask. Has anyone run the Black Rhino Barstow wheels 17x9.5 or any BR wheel in that size with a zero offset 285/70R17? I saw some posts that say it fits with a -12 some that say the cab mounts rub. I do not know if that was stock height though as the poster failed to mention his suspension. If negative offset throws out too much scrub and fouls with the cab mount I'm not insterested. THis is not a rock buggy, I'm building it for overlanding/camping/will tow also. This wheel in a zero offset being 9.5" wide I wonder if it will contact the UCA. I need to find that sweet spot of just off the UCA and not sticking out so far I rub everything and throw rocks all over the side of my truck. I'm planning on a 3" OME, SPC UCA and 5.29 gears.
