Yet another backspacing question. HELP

Ok guys. i need some help. Im looking to get some new wheels that are going to be 17x8. I called the guy today and he said that they only made them in -13mm and +10mm offset (kinda think he was wrong). I swore they made them in 0mm. So my question is the -13mm offset would be about 4" of BS and the +10mm would be about 5"BS. Im going to run a 285/70-17 MT so which offset should i get. Of course the 0mm would be the perfect 4.5'' of BS but the guy said they didnt have those. Im going to call again and ask tomorrow. But as of now, which should i get?

 

Go with the -13/4" bs

 

I just ran into the exact same situation. I went with the +10 offset because I am not planning on running a 285. If I were I would have went with the -13. There may still be rubbing issues with a 285/70 if I understand correctly.

 

Do you have any lift? If not,you're going to have A LOT of rubbing with that 285 and trouble getting it stuffed under the fender. You will probably even have to do some trimming with close to 3" of lift. As far as the BS,if you want that size tire then you are definitely going to want the 4"BS b/c if not,you will be all up on your UCA at that point.

 

Oh yea i forgot to mention the lift info. Im running a 3'' toytec ultimate lift right now

 

Your lift has zero to do with rubbing... just how much compression till rubbing occurs.

 

You say they and them... some wheels are made in a 0 offset some are not. Your description of "they / them" wheels is not enough to know if you can get 0 offset.

 

The "8" in 17x8" is measured from the inside of the rim lip, where the tire bead seats. BS is measured from the outside of the rim lip to the hub face. Depending on rim design, 17x8" with 0mm offset could be 4.25", 4.5", 4.7" BS... You need to get the actual BS from the seller or ask him to take measurements (easy to do with a ruler or tape).

+10 mm offset won't work (i.e. tire will rub on UCA). -13 mm is less backspacing than you need, so UCA will have good clearance, but the tire will rub more on the fender flare or cab mount.

 

Well, i think ill go with the -13 then. Here they are in case you all were wondering

Those are the same wheels I just ordered in 17x8 +10 offset. I did so because I have no desire to run 285s because of the necessary trimming. With the +10th 265s work great and look really good too. If you don't mind the trimming with 285s then do the -13 offset.

 

Can i asked where you ordered them from? Ever one i talk to doesnt have them yet

 

keith.......here boy......COME!!

 

He's traveling...

 

damnit....




wheres my dog whistle?

 

I ordered them from sd wheel Corp. The 17x8 are $525 per set shipped and arrived in 4 days from placing order. I found them on eBay and ordered over the phone for that price. I was also able to use my tpms with these wheels and ordered a black lug kit off eBay for $17 shipped. Had them installed yesterday and all is great. Very happy customer.

 

Also FYI..... The red in pictures looks like it may be an anodized look but is pretty much a direct match to radiant red.

 

Are you sure the guy didn't just paint the chrome ones red? Lol also post some pics of them mounted please!

 

These are the Tuff t01 17x8 +10mm offset with 255/75/17 BFG Mud Terrain KM tires on a my 2007 Radiant Red Tacoma. I am running 5100s in the front on 0 setting with OME 885x coils and a 2" wheelers add a leaf in the rear.

 

looks good on the radiant red taco, any trimming to run the 255's?

 

No, no trimming necessary.
