    new setup question

    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.

    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?

ID:	2337 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

    Nice. You should have no rubbing issues to worry about
