3. Stock wheel offset is 25.4mm on all sizes. Wheel sizes available were 16x7, 16x8, and 17x8, all have the same offset.

I would agree with this, I'm running that size on mine in a pretty aggressive AT tread and the only time I get rubbing is if the wheel is turned at the right angle and I hit a bump. Any bigger and they would be rubbing every time I turned.

I had mine with a 2" leveling kit only for a while, the nose would sit kinda high. I put 1" blocks on the rear and you wouldn't think it would make much of a difference, but i could notice. I like it much better...sorry no pics

I've heard of people putting trx4 or whatever flares on them, I went bushwacker and they are amazing

oh, and i got the block kit at my local Oreilly's they were like $30, i went to advanced auto first, but they only had 2" and 3"
