KMC Summit wheels? 17x8.5 offset?

[Reptar18]

Offsets blow my mind for some reason. I know our wheels are +34, I’m looking at KMC Summit and they offer a 0mm and +18mm option. I want to use my OE tire size, just looking for new wheels.

Any ideas? I don’t want to trim anything or mod anything to make anything fit. Also want to avoid any rubbing if possible. Only think I would change but down the road is eibach front springs.

I noticed the face of the wheel takes on a little different look depending on the offset too. I like the look of the 0mm offset but idk.

This is going on a ‘19 too.

Thanks!

0mm will stick out about 1 3/8” compared to stock
will throw more mud on the side of your truck
18mm will stick out about 5/8” compared to stock
less mud slinging safer choice

Kind of what I was thinking too.. I didn’t want debris to fly up and smack the paint or pepper it.

Go with 0 offset. A little mud on your Raptor isn't gonna hurt.

For street queens.... it might be slung Tire shine...

The +18 and +25 offsets allow the tire to stuff and bump fully without destroying the fenders and flares. If you dont intend to use the truck as it was designed, go with the 0 offset that is so popular for the looks.

0 offset is also needed for a lot of aftermarket UCA. Not just street queens.

Why bother him with pesky facts?

I don’t plan to heavily mod the truck to that extent. So maybe a more realistic offset of +18 and +25 is ideal.

UCA is not considered a "heavy" modification. People run them on stock set ups all the time.
