So my Black Diamond is officially on order. I already plan on going with a different wheel and a little taller tire. Need a little assistance choosing offset.
Tire choices are....
285/70-17 (32.7x11.2)
33x10.5x17
255/80-17 (33.1x10)
The wheels I am going with are 17x8 and offered in a 0 and +18 offset. OEM wheels are 17x7.5 with a +55mm offset. I think that is correct.
So with those choices of tires which would be the better offset to go with. And how exactly would both offsets affect how the wheel/tire sits??
I do plan on eventually replacing the crash bars with the 4wp modified crash bars for added room and adding a 1" level. But that will be a little later down the line.
My wheels I got are a 17x8.5 with +18 offset. I had long discussions with my local tire and wheel shop (also one of my clients), we determined that the +18 is perfect to get my new wheels/tires to be pretty close on the inside to what the stock wheels/tires were. As soon as the stock tires wear out, I am going with a 35x11.50 all terrain. I do not like too much poke. He though that the 0 offset or a negative offset would stick out too far. I do not like tires that are super fat either.
