First off, yes, I've searched... I need some advice on wheel/tire setup. I am thinking of getting 18x9 fuel hostage wheels with toyo open country at2 tires in 275/70/18. My question is, what offset is recommended? I want the tire to be about an 1.5" outside the wheelwell. I have a 2.5" leveling kit in the front and 1" spacer in the rear. Any advice on the offset is appreciated!

Thanks

 

You will be able to fit 35's with that setup. I have a 2.5" level up front and 1.5" in the rear. 33's will look too small IMO.

Here are a few pics of my setup.

Thanks! I have been wanting 35"s, but have heard conflicting statements on rubbing. What is your offset? Did you run spacers?

Thanks!

 

As for right now I just had the stock wheels powdercoated black, but after getting them back and on the truck I may just keep it the way it is. They look real good and I get a lot of compliments lol I haven't had any issues with rubbing but I had 1/4" spacers put on just to be safe because the front tires were real close to the a arm at the top. They stick out around an inch or so, just the look I wanted. Stick out too far and kiss your paint goodbye. The tires are Mastercraft Courser MXT's 35x12.5x20. Only have 3k miles on them but so far they are decent in the snow for a M/T and dig like crazy in the sand and mud. Little noisy but I'm young so I like that haha

 

Gkates what brand leveling kit are you running? Did it come with 1.5 lift for the back or did you buy that seperately?

 

My buddies dad owns a performance shop so I had them order and install it when I got the tires. It's a rough country but I'm not sure if they got it as a kit or seperate.

 

I have 305/70/r15 on Fuel Hostage 17x9.5 with +12 offset or 5.7" offset and have lots of clearance on the suspension and stick out about 1" farther than the stock 275/60/r20" tires that came with the truck.
