That truck would look perfect if it wasn’t for the terrible graphics!

They’re a very conservative offset. Although this is the 20” 601, the 17” 602 will have the same width and offset.

Here is a customer install that should give you an idea; pay specific attention the front azle:

How well will the 20" wheels fit under the fenders at full flex? Any rubbing with a 35x12.50R20?

I also sent a message Nick. Thank you.

I know folks have been really excited about the Vorsteiner wheels becoming available in a 17” version and today we got our first teaser.

Size: 17x9 ET+12

Weight: 24lbs! That’s 10 pounds lighter than the OEM.

Load Rating: 2600lbs

Price: ~$1100 per set with lugs. Not officially set yet.

Once all information is finalized, we will be kicking off our preorder!



Will the stock Bfg ko2’s fit on those?

They fit at full flex on 35s. The only issue is the rubbing at full lock. The rubbing is corrected by adding perch collars or aftermarket shocks to adjust the front height. We're happy to put a package together for you!

Yes, the 17" Vorsteiner VenomRex 602 will fit on factory tires.

What is required for the “pre-order”?

Would these rub at all with the stock K02’s mounted and no suspension mods?

Thank you for the reply. We are taking payment for the full set at this time and the wheels will be processed in the order in which they were received.

I need to confirm with Vorsteiner. The VR601 20" wheels had very slight rubbing at full lock on the fender liner with BFG K02 tires. Since the factory 315/70/17 tires are 0.2" shorter than the 35x12.50x20 K02 tires, I believe that this would eliminate rubbing or at least minimize it even more.

Of course, any kind of perch collar will eliminate rubbing entirely.
