Hey all - I have a blackout edition and I am looking to drop to a 17" black wheel from the factory 20". I will be running a 35" AT tire. Anyone have any good recommendations and what would be the proper backspacing? I have bilsteins up front so 35s will fit.

TIA

In order to give you proper backspacing size. I need the rims width you are looking at.


If you want to know offset which correlates with backspacing.
You could keep it stock at +19 or a 0 offset would look good.

I would probably go 17x10

Looking at 17x9 Raceline raptor - they have a 0 offset, since the factory wheels are 19.1 would a 0 offset push them out a little and give it a wider stance? I get confused with +/- offset and moving to zero

Yes, the lower the offset. The farther the wheel will be pushed out from the hub.

This is a 17x9 with 0 offset. If you get a 17x10 it will poke out about another half inch.
