    Looking at some 17 x 8.5" rims ( 6-139.7) for my 2013 DC. They come in a few different offsets / backspacing and not sure what one I should get. I want a little wider stance than stock but not rock throwing wide . It is not lifted now but am looking into leveling it out soon. Would like to run 265/70 R17's right away. I know the stock 17" TRD's are 17 X 7.5" w/ 5.5 BS and 30mm offset. Dont want to run spacers either. Listed below are my rims size options:
    4.25 B/S -12 offset 106.2 center bore
    5.25 B/S +12 offset " "
    5.7 B/S +25 offset " "
    6.1 B/S +35 offset " "


    Thanks in advance.

    Either of the above choice will work. 4.25" BS will give you flexibility if you decide to go wider than 265s in the future. The drawback is that you'll have to do some minor plastic trimming.

    5.25" BS will work out with the current tire size selection and you probably will not have to do any trimming, but if you decide to go with wider tires, you will run into some rubbing on the UCA.

    Out of those two choices, how far would each of those stick out approximately? ??

    4.25" BS will stick out about 2.25" more than stock.
    5.25" BS will stick out about 1.25" more than stock.
