What is a good offset for 17"x7.5" rims?
I was told no lower than 40mm and then I was told 35mm.
The rims I'm getting come in 35mm, 38mm, 43mm offset
I want the wheel to come out close to the fender not too much in and not stickin out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

If that's the case, get a 38mm offset.

 

That was what I was going to say, even before i saw the post above, but that seals it, in my mind.

 

35mm, no? wen i had 18x7.5's, i had 42mm offset and that was pretty in there...i was told a 10mm spacer from a 42mm offset would make it pretty dang flush...so, with that said, wouldnt a 35mm be perfect? well, just in case, go check the offset calculator...compare with 9.5" width rim with a 45mm offset or a 8.5" wide rim with a 40mm offset...thats a perfect flush for me!

 

oops, didnt see that it was for a 4th gen max...my bad

 

2 OT replies to you: First off, I love your rims. Second off, PLEASE do not post your sig more than once per thread.

 

sorry...bad habit...ill watch myself!

 

for 38mm

 

Which offset do you have on your 19x8.5 in front?

Does it rub AT ALL?

What tires you got?

 

i have 40mm offset on the 8.5's with 235 35 19, wish i had 245 35 19. and no it does not rub AT ALL! i have bfg scorchers...crap tires, but i didnt have the money for better ones...sucks

 

What about 45mm, would that work?

According to the wheel offset calculator:
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 13mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 13mm

Is this right?

 

The higher the offset, the farther the wheels are pushed farther into the wheel well. I dunno about that outside edge "extending" business, maybe they mean the gap between the fender edge and edge of the wheel will extend 13mm, which is true.

 

Do you think they would rub at all?

 

Thanks.

That's a meaty rim/tire to have on front without any rubbing issues, especially while turning. Glad to hear it.

 

i know that max can take +35-+45 offset... but of course, always better in the middle than the extremes.

 

i would go with 38.

 

so with a +38 offset, 245/35/19 tires and 19x8.5 Rims....most of you are not getting any rubbing?

I havent got any, yet (not that im aware of) and hopefully keep it that way

 

Why did you just bump a reallllly old thread?

Random postwhoring much? At least bump threads created in the past month.

 

right?

times have definitely changed, so many +38 recommendations.

 

LOL I was going to but your ***** on a 7.5 +38, just shows we have learned alot about wheel fitments over the years.

 

8.5 / +18 For the rear. +27 / 8.5 up front in order to be flush.

 

it took me a minute to realize what had happened to. i thought it was a typo.

 

Where's love for my learning?

 

hows that for love?

 

ahhh
