Hello

I recently leveled my truck (05 reg cab 2WD) and it has the stock 20s on. I want to change to 17s and was wondering if I can fit 285/75R17 (about 34"). I currently have 275/60R20 and those are 33" so im pretty sure that 34s will fit. Would I have any problems with rubbing with the 34s?

Ps What amount of offset/backspacing will put my wheels just outside of the wheel wells? I want them to stick out a little but not a whole lot.

Thanks

if u wanna fender poke a little bit aim around 0 offset on a 17x9 wheel or 17x10. if u wanna go further out just go deeper into the negative. i got -24 i stick bout 3 inchs out but i also have 10 inch whide wheels. honeslty i would like it a lil more if it stuck out a little more but the next offset bump in my wheels was from -24 to -44 and thats too much and jumps it to a 12 inch wide wheel.. if you buy the wheels and they dont stick out enough u can always thro a 10-20mm spacer on it. the stock offset is like +18 so every millameter down will be a millimeter out wider. so
+18 down to 0 is 18 millimeter diffirence meaning 18 millimeter wide/further out. i see this lifted ram with fender flares with stock wheels and it drivers me nuts. unless he had to swap back to stocks because he messed up his aftermarket rims it just looks so narrow and pointless to have the flares. i was a big fan of metal mulishas all black generals in 17x9 0 offset but i wanted them to stick out more then that so i got -24 fuels hostages (kinda played out). the tire guy recommened -12 im glad i didnt listen to him
