new wheels have a question...

I know there are a million tire and wheel questions on here but havent really found a good answer to my situation. I am getting new tires and wheels for my 10' tacoma 4x4 trd sport. I have chosen the ballistic wizard rims in black 17x9 and goodyear silent armour tires 265/70/17. My question is i have 3 offset options to choose from, 0, +12, and +25. i figure the +25 is like a 6" backspace on that one, so no go there. As far as the other two, one says its a 5" backspace and the other says its a 5.5" backspace, so will either of these work and how much farther will one stick out more than the other? sorry for the long post, just want to get some good info from u guys. thanks a lot.

 

The 0 offset is the 5" backspaced for a 9" rim. With 265s, you can get away with anywhere between 4.5-5.5" bs.

However, I would check the tire manufactures website t see if the 265/70/17s are approved for use on a 9" rim. My guess is that they are not.

 

that was one of the tire package options, so i would assume that they will, but i will ask just to be sure. they had a list of tires of that size to sell with the rims and that's the tire i picked....but thanks for the heads up.

 

actually just looked, and the goodyear website says 7 to 9 inch rim on that size tire..so good to go there. now just which one to choose.which one would stick out the farthest, i would like it to be somewhere right at the fenders or just past, not real far past if u know what i mean...thanks

 

The 9" rims with 5" BS will stick out 2.5" further than your stock wheels did.

 

Lets see some pics when done.

 

thanks guys, will do on the pics, plan on ordering them tomorrow
