Optimal offset: 3rd gen stock suspension

Hello all!

I’d like a wheel and tire upgrade. I am willing to do some trimming. Would like to avoid CMC if possible, but I will do it if need be.

I don’t want skinny tires, so I’d like to run 275/70/R17 to get to 32” on a 17” wheel with 8.5” width.

Obviously I have two risks, rubbing on the UCAs and rubbing on fender/liners. These two seem to be in balance. I’m thinking to clear UCAs I need to be 0.75” out more with the wheels, so an offset decrease of about 20mm.

I have three wheel choices that I really like.

1) SCS ray 10s: 17x8.5 -12 offset. These are my fav, but unfortunately probably the worst fit. CM and fender rub city.

2) Method 315s: 17x8.5 0 offset. These will probably work better, and are probably tied as far as aesthetics with option 3.

3) Fuel Vectors: 17x8.5 +7 offset. This is -18 mm offset from stock. This makes me a bit nervous that maybe it isn’t enough for the UCA clearance.

Has anybody installed a bunch of offsets and published/quantified rub risk and location?

I want to lift eventually, but I’d like to clear the tires stock so I know they will clear lifted with the suspension stuffed. Also, I just want to have the truck look better

Any knowledge would be much appreciated!

 

interested in knowing this as well.

 

Bump. Anybody with some wisdom to impart upon us?

 

I think the Fuels would likely be ok. It's pretty common for people to run this tire size on a 4Runner TRD wheel which is +4 offset, and I can't imagine they'd be doing it if it was all that close. Might get a more definitive answer in this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/official-3rd-gen-275-70r17-tire-thread.394460/

 

Have seen tons of people run 265/75/16 with a 0 offset wheel. Check that out on customoffsets. For example

use this site to check out what people are running for wheel and tire specs. The link is the route Ill be going shortly
