I have stock beadlock capable forged rims and stock tires. There’s evidence of rubbing in the rear, and less severe scrapes on the front.

I ordered some Method 703s with a +25mm offset. It’s really hard to find aftermarket wheels that have the stock fit (17”x8.5”; 34mm offset). 25mm is the closest I found. Therefore it’s a 9mm outboard shift.

I don’t understand why aftermarket wheel mfrs don’t start with factory sizes. Reducing offset pushes the wheel outboard. 2 risks:

1) increased probability of full compression interference w bedsides and fenders

2) steering axis no longer intersects with the center of the wheel’s footprint, adding steering load due to loss of mechanical leverage

anyone have any experience running a 17”x8.5”; 25mm offset wheel?

I’ve got stock beadlocks on the stock 35” bfg k02’s.

I’ve got the RPG upper control arm and tie rods. I’ve noticed when I air down that the inside of my tire rubs against the UCA. There are actual tire marks on the UCA.

So I figure, I’m looking at the icon alloys with a 6mm offset. Pretty much the same as 0 offset that a lot of people already have. So it pushes the tire out and I don’t have the rubbing issue.

Now, I’m not sure what to do. Hmmm

I had the same issue, if you put the beadlocks rings on it pushes the ko2s away from any rubbing on the upper control arm

Running stock tires with zero offset. Rubs slightly, but rarely. Then again I am mostly on paved streets and in traffic.
