Welcome from Eugene, Oregon via Bellingham, Washington!

Yea, the ostensive center caps turn me off; I like clean simple designs that are easy to keep clean

Welcome. Something more close to stock offset.

Hello

 

[NickPic83]

so you guys are looking to pull the wheel in the fender slightly, I'll have to look up what the maximum allowable backspace is on the raptors to see what positive offset we can do. Thanks for the insight guys

stock offset is +36. 0 offset puts our tire(depending on some tires) just slightly out side the fender flare. negative offset is not healthy for our suspension so we like to stay 0 or + offset

Thanks Guys! I'll work on getting a more + offset available. Someone else suggested a +18 for the 17x9, i'll see what I can do.

Our current set up of 17x9 -5 offset (4.750 BS) would stick out roughly 1/2 an inch further than something like the Method 17x8.5 0 offset

That actually equates to the rim extended an additional 47mm (1.85") over the stock offset.

I've tried to stick with the stock geometry, but with RPG UCA w/ 1" bearings and some tires, that is a tight fit. An additional 10mm of clearance would be welcome and not significantly affect geometry.

For a 8.5” wide rim that would give as a 26mm offset and extend the rim an additional 10mm (0.39”) outward.

For a 9” rim, you first need to look at what equates to the stock backspacing, which is a 30mm offset. So, even with the stock backspacing, a 9” rim extends out an additional 12.35mm (0.49”). Now add an additional 10mm of inner clearance and you would have a 9” rim with a 20mm offset. This gives us a rim that extends out a total of 22.35mm (0.88”).

My preference would be the 8.5” rim with a 26mm offset.

By the way, welcome to the site!!!
