Big Bend - Wheel Upgrade?

[Boston0556]

Found some wheels on sale but curious if any modifications have to be made (remove crash bars for example). Wheels are 17x8.5 with 0 offset and looking at tires of 285/70/17. Any help is appreciated! Thanks

none needed, I have the same size sometimes I have very very light rub backing up at full lock, but otherwise no issue and size looks great

Those look like the exact ones im looking at.

size is fine but offset may have you looking for sasquatch flares.

Yeah figured I would have been trying to find decently priced aftermarket

I don't have them, no issues so far
However, they do reach past the flares so time will tell with rock chips

I went with a 295/70R17 in BF Goodrich AT KO2. 33.3 inch diameter 11.8 wide with 0 offset Black Rhino WARTHOG WHEELS. Had to remove rear crash bar and push front crash bar forward. The dealer found there is play in that front crash bar, loosened the bolts, pushed them forward and retightened. I have done same set up on BB and OBX models. Slight rub at hard turn backing up only. Factory flares still work great. Almost 0 splash. Tire sticks out about 2.5 inches beyond flare. Did put front mud flaps on BB not on OBX. No difference in splash.
