    Need help with rims

    Hello, I have a lead on some nice rims. They have the following specs:

    Size: 17x9 , Bolt pattern 5x5 , Offsett 4.5

    How would this fit on an XK, I'm considdering using them for 285/70/17 with 2" lift and use my AEV Pintlers in the winter time.

    Will they be a better or worse fit than my AEV WK pintlers in regards of rubbing ? How much more will the tire stick out ?
    The pintlers have the following specs:
    Size: 17" x 8.5" , Bolt Pattern: 5x5 , Offset 5,75"

    Thanks in advance for any advice !

    They'll stick out 1.75" further....not including the increase in tread width. Not going to fit those on your 2" lift without literally cutting out the pinch weld area and welding in a new section further back.

    You won't fit that tire size with only a 2 inch lift and those wheels. They are to wide and will stick out way to far. 285's on any wheel is going to rub on a 2 inch lift unless you do the bumper mod and cut out your pinch weld completely. Also you would have to look into doing the rear ac/heat delete like I did. I ran 285/70's prior to the 305/70's I have now

    Are you still planning on running a 285/70? If so what are your plans to make them fit.
