17 or 18X9's ? 35's w/18-20 Offset? Back spacing, Bolt Pattern Etc...

[Rated R]

Well from what I understand the Fuel Podium wheels are only available in a +1 offset so I'll keep looking. Thinking about possibly going with 17" Racelines through CJC. 17X9 w/ +20mm offset. The bronze color might look real good with Max Steel:

I pulled the trigger on the wheels above yesterday. I'll probably go with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 35X12.50/17 with E load rating.

I installed KMC XD 18 x 9 with +18 offset wheels and Toyo RT 35x12.50R18s on my 2018 Power Wagon. I love the wider stance it gave the truck. The OEM wheels and tires look way too small and sucked in.

Are you still enjoying those wheels? I know it's only been a month, but I'm trying to decide between a set of those (in the 17x9) or a set of AEV Salta's.

I love the wheel. They balance out perfect. The offset of +18 will put the tires almost to the end of the flairs. Just enough to keep all the dirt and mud slung under the fenders. I like the 18x9 size the 17s looked too small.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm definitely leaning that directly. For me it's down to the AEV Salta's or the Hoss 2 in 18s. I'm leaning towards the gray/black Hoss wheels though.

Any issues with rubbing with the 35s?

 

[Joeeffinger]

No issue at all with the decreased offset I get zero rub anywhere. There is a ton of room now to the control arms. I thought about even going to a wider 35x13.5xR18 tire but not sure if it will fit on a 9 inch wide rim. Most people put those on 10inch wide rims.

Looking @ Fuel D560 Vapor 18x9 +20 offset with Fuel 35x13.50 Mud Gripper MT

How much is braking affected with larger tires or the more aggressive offroad tires?

The 6 spoke looks better than the 8 spokes

In a 35" not as much as a 37 or 39 would be. 35's no different as stock is a 34

Stock is barely 33 with no weight on them. And they are light.

When I switched to 35” Falkens, breaking and acceleration definitely took a noticeable hit. Nothing horrible, but certainly noticeable.

What olyelr said. I put 35" Falkens on mine last month and noticed the same.
