Looking to put on a set of Method 315’s 17x8.5” +25 offset on 35x12.5/17 tires. Going from a 20” Limited OEM wheel to that, would it look stupid or fill up the wheel wells? I’ve found a couple pics exactly what I’m looking for, but I was looking for more if you guys had. Just bought a ‘20 Limited and need to get rid of those awful Transwhatever tires ASAP. I have a new set of 35x12.5/17 Ridge Grapplers from my Raptor and figured I could get away with just buying wheels and installing the tires. Thank you in advance! Not looking to do any suspension mods.

My buddy has those tires on his power wagon with aev wheels with specs very close to those
 
Would anyone know if these Trail Ready wheels, 17x8.5, 5.5" backspace would work on a 35" Nitto Trail Grappler without any suspension mods? I love the look of these wheels in bronze

Stock offset will work so yes +19 offset will work they will make the tires about flush with fender well if not .5” of stick out

That's exactly what I'm looking for, thank you. So this would be my setup:

35x12.50/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers
17x8.5, 5.5" backspace (+19 offset)

Should be golden tate, right?
 
18x9 +18 with 285/75-18 (35x11.50) ridge grapplers on stock suspension. I would rub with 12.50s according to my calculations, but GTG with 11.50s. YMMV789CD2BC-16F8-4224-8338-6635A9FBAD5B.jpeg

Thank you! Is it possible to heat gun and mold that plastic back if I were to rub? I don’t know if I want to trim up a brand new truck

I’m not sure, I didn’t have to trim. the picture above is with the wheel turned to the closest point of nearly touching on level ground.

I touch the inner fender barely when I’m turning into a driveway or something where I’m turning and hitting a bump simultaneously.

You also have quite a bit of weight up front with that winch and bumper i see you have synthetic line but still it is extra weight

Yea, somewhere in the range of 275 - 300lb added. It didn’t really sag much from that. It had 2” of rake and now it has 1.75”

Thats not bad, it all really depends on what you have for coils apparently the snow chief package like i have has heavier coils so when i put my 35x12.5x17s on 17x9 +18 setup on i should clear

I'm not sure if I have snow chief package, but from what I've been reading is that 17x8.5 +19 on 35x12.5's will fit. If it doesn't, I wonder if I can upgrade to Fox shocks and not touch the coils?

Shocks aren’t going to help you with tire clearance, but fox are great shocks.

fox shocks are overpriced junk, and shocks don't add height, if you do rub just mold the plastic with a heat gun

I beg to differ. Fox makes great stuff. That being said, They do have budget adventure series stuff out there that is not anything special.

I have blown out many fox shocks they are junk and really the duche brand if you will when it comes to actual performance king or bilsien are far supirior
