Help with wheels again....sorry
OK. I'm still lost on what's going to fit and what's not.
Need a set of 17"x?. Prolly 9" wide. Most of the wheels I'm looking at have a 4.5" backspacing, but then the offsets vary from-6mm to -12mm or more. I understand the 17"x8" factory alloys to have a 42.3mm offset (1.7"). So I'm figuring the stock wheels to have a 5.7" backspacing. So far so good? HOWEVER...none of that tells me what the limits are without rubbing. A 9" wheel, with 4.5" backspacing & -12mm offset I think is...almost 5"? Is that going to clear and just stick out? |
17x9 pro comp 1079 on 315 nitto dune grappler. 4.5" BS No problems with rubbing w/ a leveling kit. These are older pics. I was running a 315 hankook MT back then and did not have stacks.

Those must have had the -6mm offset too then.
Think they would have rubbed with no leveling kit? |

Approx how far do those wheels stick out past the fender, although great pics it's hard to tell, maybe you could pull some rough measurements. Thanks |
From my calculations it would be about 1.75".

that sounds about right. I like some wheel outside the fender but not too much. Your paint however, will suffer if you travel on gravel much w/o some mud flaps or fender flares.
