Guys,
I just got my Cragar D window 17x9's from FedEx today. I took them out and held them up to the BFG Mud Terrain KM2's that are 285/70/17. The rims look way wide. Should I have gone with 17x8's?

I am running BFG ATs in that same 285/70/17 size with 17x9 Eagle 187s no problem.

nope they will fit good on 9" rims.

 

[79rallysport]

Thanks for the reassurance.

I NEED to see this setup...please.

I'll try to remember to take some pics when I get everything installed.

The 285's should fit better on the 9" rims. I have to run 40 psi on the rear so I don't prematurely wear out the centers using the stock 8" wheels.

Here are my 285's on 8's. I think 9" will sit PERFECT!

So Freaking Sweet

that is the EXACT look I am going for, KM2's all the way. NICE, VERY NICE.... could I see a pic of the front?

 

[MonsoonMike]

I can take some if you'd like from a straight front shot... this is all I have access to here at work..

 

[GrizzRam]

nice, the KM2's in 285/70 format look bigger than most 285 tires, must be the aggressive tread on the outside lip. What psi are you set at on front and back? backspacing/offset of those rims.

do you have 3.55s? or 3.92s?

 

[MonsoonMike]

3.92 Gears - 4.5 bs -6 offset running 50PSI all the way around. Rotating them every 3K miles.

here is what they look like on a stock chrome clad..

 

[GrizzRam]

beautiful. I love it.

Now see, I personally think his truck looks perfect with the 8" wide wheels. I do not like when the wheel is as wide as the tread width of the tire. That looks stupid as *ell, and can lead to damage of the wheel if you curb it or hit something offroad too. I think you always want to keep the width of your wheels just barely less than the width of the tread on your tires.

Are the stock OEM aluminum 17" wheels on these trucks 8" or 9" wide?? My 285s seem to not be as wide as I'd like for these wheels.
