[QUOTE="PCDan, post: 521015, member: 12195"] Zeb, First off the setup I have is pretty much flush with the outside edge of the top of the fender flare, maybe a little out in the back. The 0 offset 17X8.5 wheel is 1.3 inches further out than the stock wheel (stock = +34mm offset). I had the same concerns before I even had my truck so I couldn't look under the wheel wells. You have a truck so you can see that the flat underside of the flare is over 2 inches wide. In the front there may be an additional 1" of room for travel inside of the inside flare edge, but in the rear I don't think there is any additional travel inboard of the flare edge/height. I assume with the stock wheel being 1.3 inches further IN, with the slightly narrower stock tire, with the wheels pointed straight ahead, may allow the stock front wheel/tire to clear that inside edge of the front flare when bottomed out and gain an inch of travel. (if the shock even allows travel that far up)- - Stock shocks setting is at the LOWEST front perch, so bump your truck up to the middle perch and you get that inch of travel back. I asked around in here a lot about rubbing with the tire/wheel/perch setup I have and many said they have had no rubbing issues. I've only had my truck a week and haven't had it out to the desert yet to confirm, but my tape measure says I shouldn't really have any issues different from the stock wheel and tire dimensions. But like the above post by Freedom said, you can always go with the 18" wheel and pull it in with +18mm of offset. I was tempted to go with the 18" wheel with +18 offset, but 18mm offset isnt even an inch, and since the flare lip is 2" wide I didn't think that would change any possible rubbing issues. I will post some pictures of the stance and clearance. Hope that helps a little. [/QUOTE]
