Yet another tire fitment question...

PilotJK said:

I want to make sure I got this right. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm planning to replace my 2011 stock 17 inch wheels with Black Rock Viper 900S (17X8 with 4.5 back spacing). Currently, I have 1.5 wheel spacers which makes it virtually 4.75 back spacing? My plan is to get the wheels first due to my budget. Then in the future I will buy 35s.

My questions:

a. Would my current tires BFG 33s (285/70/R17) fit on the wheels I'm thinking of getting?

b. You think it would look real awkward?

I'm open to any suggestions. If anyone have any pictures to share it would be great.

17X8 is a little narrow for a 35X12.5 I would highly recommend the 17X9.:brows:

Did you pick up those wheels yet? They look sharp. I also like the Intruder from Black Rock also.:yup:
