Wheel offset for 35’s w/o long travel

Pretty self explanatory. What offset are you guys running with a 35” tire, without a long travel setup up front.

Quick background on my plans.... im ordering king coils with total chaos UCA’s for the front, OME heavy duty leafs and King shocks out back. I dont plan on doing long travel anytime soon. Large CMC, pinch weld/firewall hammering, and fender/flare trimming will obviously be happening as well

Wheels im looking at are 17” SCS f5’s. Seems like alot of guys are running 0 offset but i cant seem to find anyone that isnt long travel with that offset and scs said i MIGHT have some clearance issues with the control arms at 0 offset. They also offer a -38 offset but they seem to poke alot. If anyone has pics of either offset id greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys

I've had F5's in the 16x8 3.50" back space and my current 17x8.5 4.3". The 17's cleared a lot better since they didn't track out as far.

 

I'm running 17X8.5 -10 offset, approx. 4.30 BS (VTX Vipers) and I'm running 1.5 inch spacers. Without the spacers they rubbed bad on my JBA UCAs and cab mount. With the spacers it's only slightly on the cab mount, and that's with a pretty aggressive chop (chopped, plated, then hammered inward - it's so ugly I'm almost embarrassed to show it) and 3.0 caster. It's going to be a squeeze no matter what unless you go with a cab mount relocate. Pics are below. I hope that helps.

 

Iggy, they rubbed less with the -10 offset ? That seems backwards haha. Same size tire ? I was actually thinking of going with theyre 16x8 with the same 3.5 backspacing.

Ras, thats a bitchin lookin truck. Same color as mine. Whats your suspension setup?

 

Yeah, the -10's rubbed less. The -25's push the wheel away from the truck, which meant the outer edge of the tire had a larger radius and that rubbed on the fender and edge of the cab mount ofter chop at full lock.

 

16x8 3.5BS/-25mm offset here and 35s

 

Interesting, my plan right now is to add standard race TC LCAs and 35’s later on. I know there will be some issues. I added 1” spacers to 4.3” back spacing and it rubbed on my CMC. With the race standard you need to run a spacer with standard 4.75 BS. Not sure about 4.3 but 3.5 BS would clear the issue. Spacer or after market if you want to run TC race Lowers and you need to it that into account. Many may not but a couple of us are debating due to running spacers. TC noted a higher offset or less BS however you want to say it will resolve the spacer need and mentioned SCS as a solution.

 

Thanks man. It's a work in progress, but coming along. I need to get the front bumper mounts re-fabbed for the body lift (something to think about if you go that route). The rear bumper and sliders have modified brackets for the body lift. Here is the suspension/wheel set up:

Icon Extended travel - front

Standard JBA Upper Control Arms

Bilstein 5125s built for 3 inches of lift - rear

TSB pack with a Toytec AAL, and 1.5 inch block

Toytec 1 inch body lift

1.25" SpiderTrax Wheel Spacers (front only)

GY MT/R’s 35/12.5/17

VTX Vipers 17x8.5 -10

 

tr beadlocks hd17, 4 bs, no rubs

 

Fatfurious, do you have a shot looking down the side of the truck ? Good looking setup dude

 

Nevermind, found your instagram. I was like 80 percent sure i was going with the 16x8’s, looking at your truck just confirmed it for me. That off set and width sits just about perfect imo
