Brain Hurts, Wheel/Tire Selection...

[BIRDMAN]

Sorry I am really stubborn when it comes to wheel offset. Svt made it +34mm for a reason. With 0mm offset and true 35s even at top perch your tires will eat your fenders off-road

Even though I am gritting my teeth writing this.

Birdman is correct about offset on the Raptor.

Are you at stock perch? What tire size? If you go to middle perch+ or retain stock tire size then its possible you will be OK but most go a tire size up and stay at stock perch height. Its a bad combo. Plus you're begging for trouble down the road with wheel bearings. It just isn't proper

Middle perch stock tires. I will report back when the Generals are installed after the Raptor Run. I'll try to find a nice little jump to get full compression.

I know several guys with methods and 35" Toyos...no issues when off road.

At any rate, we all have our opinions and likely wont budge from our stance. Cheers.

I have 35" Grabbers, 17" Method Standards 0mm offset, I'm on Top Perch, and have torn out my right fenderwell at full compression.

I agree with Birdman, and can provide photographic evidence to back his claim if need be.

I have also seen Brochacho tear out a fenderwell with STOCK wheels and tires. Also can provide pics for any non-believers

Then it appears I am wrong.

With -6 and stock BFG tires there was no evidence of rubbing after several jumps like this. I wish I could say the same for my skid plate...RIP.

*Note to self, dont hold the throttle as you go through a jump.

Please don't run 20's. Trophy Trucks run 17's for a reason. Running 20's is just hurting your performance for the sake of bling.
