Been shopping around for aftermarket wheels and I believe I may have chosen a set.
Looking at the Fuel Hostage wheel, 18x9 4.5” BS / -12mm offset.
Also looking at a 305/65 tire. I’m wondering if people have been ok clearing body and undercarriage items with the PRG/RadFlow coilovers and 4x4 rear springs and Radflo rears. Seems a bit of a tall tire for this set-up though, may go with the 295/65.
Looking at some numbers, I think I remember seeing the OEM 18x7.5” wheels @ +30mnm offset.
This will allow 22mm more clearance from the strut, but the edge of the wheel will extend 61mm. So, roughly adding in tire width, where there is a difference of 30mm, looks as if things should be OK with respect to the strut, etc.
Also, I see rragpaoa is running 275/70’s which are close to the same height, (~.4" shorter) albeit ~20mm thinner.
And doctahjones has 285's as do other members with OEM +30mm 7.5" wheels.
With that said, I don’t think I’ll have any issues on the inside portion of things, but still slightly worried about the outside/fender area.
Anyone have any thoughts?
