Help! Tire/wheel setup

[LTeddy]

It's all what you want if you're wanting to go smaller then do that if you are worried about a slight rub and that's making you go smaller I wouldn't worry and run 275/70

Looks sweet! I think that's what I'll do is either stay with 18s or go alittle smaller to fit some BFG's!

FYI: Was told once not to go smaller than 17" for brake caliper/rotor clearance

So what kind of offset do i want? -12mm or 18mm? What's the difference?

I just order these. They are coming Tuesday. I have a white double cab. So I could get pics for ya then when install them that day. I went with a 285 70 on the 17 inch wheel. That way it's a 33" and I have a 2" leveling kit on already.

That looks badass! I want that look, what level kit did you go with again? Any issues with the 17" diameter wheel with the brake caliper?

No issues at all. And I have a 2 inch level in the front. I got the wheels and tires of discount tire direct.

Is it a moto-fab level or rough country? or another brand?

It was the rough country. I have had it for almost 3 years now no issues.

Looks great!  I have these wheels in the 18" version, with 275/65/18 Duratracs.  

 

Please be aware that the center caps will corrode badly if left on during the winter!  I installed mine in December of last year, and by March they looked awful.  I went to remove them to replace with black painted ones, and several of the bolts were seized and the heads broke off during removal (see picture).  Also I discovered that the black paint underneath the caps had begun bubbling and flaking off.  I purchased them through tire rack, and they denied me warranty coverage due to the corrosion.

 

I would strongly recommend clear-coating or painting the center caps, putting some anti-seize on the bolts that hold the center caps on, and maybe looking into fabricating some sort of gasket that can be installed between the center caps and the wheel to prevent the corrosion from affecting the black wheel paint.  These things should prevent the issues I had.
