Havent seen it mentioned but nobody has directly asked it before

Doing Fuel zyphrs -15 offset wheels. Keeping the stock size K02s for now, truck will get a 2.25" RPG level spring coller.

My question is, as my wife and I both almost always do full bump compression and decrompression urban assaults, at full compression will we come in contact with the top of the fender front and rear? I dont want to hit something and my fender get ripped off at full compression and end up flying 400 foot in the air ove the top of me.

Thanks in advanced.

I’m not sure what position “Fuel zyphrs -15 offset” is but I always do full bump compression and decrompression with my wife and have a good 2-3 inches before hitting the fenders.

Not sure about the truck though [emoji12]

Well since the stock rims and wheels rub a little under full compression...

... but I’m sure plenty of paveway queens will be here to tell you shortly that they have experienced no rubbing with 37s... and -15 offset.

If you want to go with aftermarket sizes on wheels/ tires be prepared to make additional modifications to make them fit properly.

37s dont work with out proper after market glass kits.

I know turning they will work. in all situations, Just want to make sure I dont bottom out on the fender before I do the bump stops...

To do a proper calculation on how far they will stick out past the factory wheels, you need to included the width of the wheel along with the offset.

Factory wheels are 17x8.5 with a +34mm offset.
The same width wheel with a -15 offset will stick out (34+15) 49mm or 1.93" further than the factory wheels.

As mentioned above, 35" tires on 8.5" wheels that stick out almost 2" more than factory will rub at full compression.
