Any rubbing with 0 offset wheels and 35" tires?

ChevyChad · Jun 8, 2017

I made the mistake of getting 1mm offset wheels with 37" tires, and I am driving myself crazy making multi point turns when parking to avoid rubbing. This has me seriously thinking about going back to stock wheels and tires. I have trimmed some plastic off the inner wheel well, but in order to totally provide sufficient clearance, I would have to cut into metal and I'm not about to hack up a brand new truck like that. I am wondering though if I may be able to eliminate the rubbing if I go down to a 35" tire instead. Can anyone with zero offset and 35" tires confirm there is no rubbing lock to lock?

Method NV 17x8.5 0 offset with 35x12.50 Nitto Trail Grapplers. No rub, no scrub over here. I haven't been offroad except that one time i cut the corner of my driveway and ran over my lawn with my back tire.

Would spacers help?

No, spacers would take me further away from the direction I would need to go. If my wheels had a less aggressive offset, it would help, but at this point I don't know even if stock offset would suffice. I don't know of anyone who has 37" tires on stock wheels who can verify tho.

Stock tires with Method 0 offset wheels rubbed slightly on both sides until I installed RPG's 1.5" lift. Now it only rubs if I hit a big bump while at full lock.

Haven't heard of any 37" that won't need trimming.
Exactly the reason I stayed with stock tires and Fuel 17" that have a small offset of .5, as I recall.

I have Toyo M/T 35x12.50R20 on 20x9 +1mm offset (so basically 0) and the rub slightly at full lock. Doesn't bother me at all and it's only a tiny bit of plastic that could be trimmed easily. I have 1.5" RPG Collars.

I like my setup a lot.

Someone said 37s with stock offset fit pretty well.

Rubbing with Method Roost & stock BFGs. Have not trimmed yet waiting for some front options.
