    I'm running the RR 2.25" spacer lift with stock wheels/tires now. I'm looking at a wheel now that specs out at 17x8 +18ET, which puts it at 5.7BS. 265/70/17 AT tires.

    Also looking at a 17x8 +6ET 4.7BS which is a little more aggressive. Just not sure if I will be rubbing at full lock with this set up..?..

    Thanks for the info above, but correct me if I'm wrong......that's reffering to stock higth or just a leveling spacer. Right?

    The offsets listed above are applicable to your lift as well.

    The 17x8 +6 is agressive like you noted and will most likely rub at full lock with the 265's mounted.

    O.K., I went with a 17x8.5 ET+14 BS+5.25 and 265/70/17 Nittos. This set-up is a little aggressive but not quite as much as a 4.5" BS on a 9" wheel. So, I'm hoping that I will have minimal rub at full lock with no well mods. If anything, I will have to bend back the pinch weld and heat gun the plastic gaurd a bit. We will see sometime next week.

    P.S. I tried to purchase from you guys but, i really didn't care too much for the wheels you carried (for my Jeep), plus my nephew hooked me up as well.

    Thank you for all your assistance and hope to do business with you soon in the future.
