new setup question

[XKLover]

OK I'm trying to figure out what is gonna work after I put my lift on. I am putting on the RR 2.25" lift. I am buying a set of Hercules Terra Trac ATII in 265/70/17. I need help in getting the right rim to avoid using spacers. I am looking at the MO970 17x8 5x5 with 0mm offset 4.5" BS. Right now I am on stock rims with 245/70/17 Forteras. Using Matt's calculator the new tire would move out 2". I keep thinking this will work but I'd like someone to confirm please, so I don't have 4 new rims that I have to buy spacers for anyways. Thanks.

Those will work great. I ran the same width/offset on my first set of wheels.

Thanks Matt!

Make sure you do the pinch weld mod. I'm running the same spec wheels as those

I am planning on doing PW mod...how much rubbing is there without doing it? Is it driveable for a week just around town?

[XKLover]

NM gonna get the mod done this weekend.

PW mod done. Was easy thanks to Matt's How to. Also my Metabo and 3lb. sledge made easy work of it.2333233423362337 Decided to leave out the wheel wells until I put the lift on next weekend. Any extra room will help I'm thinking.

Do you not have the third row seat in your Commander? I don't see the rear ac/heat lines in those pics

[XKLover]

I do have 3rd row but no rear air.

Nice. You should have no rubbing issues to worry about
