I want to run 35x11.50 tires I currently have a 3-1/2” suspension lift and a 1” body lift. I would like to get 17” wheels since the tires seem to be cheaper
Can someone tell me what offset/back spacing I need? What bore size is needed? I have been looking at Raceline and fuel wheels found a couple styles I like. Some have -12mm some are 0mm and I found one that is 18mm offset

Thanks for any input

If memory serves me correctly, they have to be at least 4.25” to clear the front hub. Beyond that, I’m not sure about backspace and offset…

You want a -12 however if you have a 76/77 front knuckles they may still need spacers to clear the tie rod ends. Some 17’s are fine and some are not. As for pilot size is 3.43. Most aftermarket wheels are 4.25 on the pilot bore, if you want them to be hub centric you need pilot spacers which are available from several tire/wheel retailers. Most of us run wheels lug centric instead of hub centric and are quite happy.
