Wheel / Tire Basic Setup

[Hugo Porto]

Hey everyone, need some help/feedback on going the widest tire setup with 0 offset wheels.

I have a set of 17x8.5 0 offset from previous truck I had.

What tires should I go considering the following:

- No Rub
- No Mod (Crash Bar Delete / Mud Flap Delete)
- Stock Suspension

Keep the 285x70?
Go for 285x75?
Go for 295x70?

Depends on how you use your truck/ what you want.

0 offset wheels simply won't work (even with 285/70s) if you off-road even a little bit. If it's a street truck and you stay with small tires it can work, but with "appropriate" sized tires... wouldn't be what I'd do.... Not on a RR...

I live on a farm haha, so my usage is 100% off-road, through brush and on gravel roads.

So if you have a RR (as your sig shows) why replace the perfectly great stock wheels with other wheels the same size but with the wrong offsets, yet stock tire size is ok? Nothing to gain there...

Two reasons fothis...

I like it—and I think it looks good—when the wheels on a vehicle like the Ranger Raptor are flush with the fenders, rather than the factory setup where the wheels sit tucked inside the fenders. Also, the tires are worn out and need to be replaced.

That’s why I started this thread—I want to find the perfect setup. If mine aftermarket wheels turn out to be an issue, I’ll just fit larger tires onto the stock wheels. I want to improve the aesthetics without ruining anything.

25-30 offset will get you flush with the fenders.

You will be fine with stock size tires. Maybe don’t jump it, but you should be fine.

The factory offset is +55. So on a factory tire, your 0 offsets will move the outer sidewall out 55mm. Which is huge amount of poke. It will rub very badly at full lock. Ideal offset for the flush look on 285 is +30 offset. Then, if you go wider tyres, you need to eqaully go higher offset.
