Wheel offsets for 2024+ Ranger Raptor?

[MidnightBlue]

I run KMC impact 17x9 +18ET with 315/70/17 KO2's. There is rub on roughly 3/4 lock but not on 1/2 and full lock so its tight... Trying to find someone to fit the Eibach pro lift kit here in the UK as I'm told spring swaps on a raptor is a bit of a nightmare...

I tried that Eibach Kit on my Bronco and would say that would be a major downgrade from the stock Fox 2.5 Live Shocks.

Maybe try Perch collars? I'm sure there will be a solid lift available soon.

Offset Visualizer

This site does a really good job of visualizing the offset and tells you the in/out adjustment from OEM to future sizing.

It’s the only way I can visually make sense of what to expect with all these offsets out there.

My EVO Corse wheels are 17x8 +30, which is equivalent to +35 if they were 8.5 wide, and they are perfectly flush with the fenders with the OE tires.

Looks sick

Where did you buy your DakarZero's from?

Curious to see some examples but here is my rough math.

If +35mm offset is "about flush" with the fender edge for an 8.5" wide wheel, then a zero offset 8.5" wide wheel will be about 3/4" (.79") of poke outside the fender edge.

Sounds about right for the wheel math.
Tire specs tend to play a factor as well.
I am pretty sure even the stock 285 tires will have some rub issues with a 0 offset rim.
This is my + 30 17" rim with a 295/70R17 and I can clear going forward at full lock, barely that is, but reverse I do rub on the crash bars.

I know that @DirtDerrick has 0 offset wheels with stock tires and he said there was no rubbing. You can see some pics of it here:

Great reference, thanks for that. Looks good with the sas wheels too. So 34" tires are close with a +30, I think you are right in that 33s with a 0 offset will be tight too. I'm sure someone will have examples by the time I get mine, which will be June-ish.

Yea, I remember seeing his truck, it is a really sharp setup, that was partially why I was thinking I was not likely going to have a rub with my +30 and 295s thinking I am only picking up a 1/4 inch further towards the crash bar with my tire size but my +30 offset should have compensated for that, so I am really still thinking he has got be really close in reverse with that 0 offset and 285s, I really don't know how he is clearing them. It would not take much though it is not really hurting anything on mine when it rubs, but I think I will remove my crash bars at some point to stop it.

The wheels Im looking at are a +10 offset. I was going to use OEM tires. Would that be flush or poke too much?

Personally I am not a fan of poke, but do like to get my stance as flush as possible without poking out slinging crap down the sides of the truck, also hate paint chips in the back fenders typically caused by poke. I love the look of minimal offset rims like -10 to +20. I find it hard to find high +offsets that look like they have some depth to them. I hated flat faced hubcap look of my OEM rims.
At +10 they will poke out, my pics are showing about as flush as flush gets at +30.
20mm = 0.8 inches so your looking at creating a 1/2 inch of poke with a +10 and the stock 285 tires.

Out of curiosity, where is everyone measuring "poke"? Because the Raptor flares are elliptical and come out way further at the top than bottom. Are you saying it's flush when it's even with the very top? Some of you saying your wheels are flush and it looks like they are in a bit from the top of the flare.

Maybe it's an optical illusion and the tire is flush with the top of the flare, but since there is ~1" from the outer edge of the tire to where the tread starts, it looks like the tire isn't flush.

This guy has a 17x9 +12 offset. Looks like Stock 285 tires.
17x9 vs 17x8.5 will add 1/4“ more poke.

Doesnt sound that bad, if not optimally what Im looking for.
