I"m going to replace the stock wheel/tires and have been looking at these 17 inch wheels: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...yker&typ=Truck
with 265 65 17 tires which is looks like around (30.56 dia).
What i'm unsure about is should I go with +10 offset or +25?
Also, or would 275 65 17 (31.07 dia) fit without trimming the front cladding.
I would go with +10mm offset because the rims & tires are a bit wider than the stock setup. Although +25mm is closer to the stock rim offset (+38mm), you could encounter inner clearance issues with too much positive offset. Better safe than sorry IMO.
Those rims should look pretty good ;). Make sure to post pics in the tire/rims section after you get everything installed.
Nice looking 17" wheel. Definitely go with the +25mm which is closer to stock (+38mm OEM), which should be your goal when searching for wheels. Forget the +10mm, as the tires will stick out way too far and the resulting wider "swing arc" will hit everything when turned (requiring extensive trimming/modification).
My highest recommendation for a 17" tire would specifically be the Yokohama - Geolandar A/T-S in 285/65R17 (31.6" O.D./42.6 lbs). This is a super rare tire size that has a low wide profile in an awesome A/T tire design. It should fit nicely with very little trimming and will look sweet due to the wider 285 series.
:bgwb:
One thing to look at on those wheels is to be sure the center bore is the proper size to fit over the hubs.
Just use this:

Thanks for the advice. Decided on the +25 offset after messing with the visual offset calc.
Good luck (and good choice, in my opinion). Don't forget to post pics when all's said and done.
