Airing down stock tire / wheel combo on a 2019 PW?

The backspacing change isn't significant. 8.5" wheel +27 has 5.81" of backspace. 8" wheel +45.72 has 6.3" of backspace. It's only a half inch more inboard. With 35s being an inch shorter every direction compared to 37s, you also aren't as close to the radius arms etc. at lock. By the math, a half inch spacer would make them work with 37s, although 3/4" might work better. These wheels came stock on my truck, so I'll just keep using them. If I were in the market for wheels, I'd just find something that checked all the boxes.

spacer+offroad, not in my vocabulary. So aftermarket wheels would be the only choice, either methods with +25mm os or aev's with +27mm. and i think raceline might have some as well, haven't looked at them yet.

You should really work on your vocabulary then. (That was meant to be tongue in cheek, not to sound pompous, but the smiley I inserted did not show up.) Properly made and installed spacers from a reputable company like BORA are not an issue. I had to use them to run 37s on my 5th gen 4Runner because of the offset of my beadlocks. But also, like I said, if I were in the market for new wheels I'd just get something that would fit correctly for what I wanted. There are plenty of options available, from many manufacturers.

nah didn't see the smiley. I've seen spacers fail on tacoma's (my first offroad truck) and swore off spacers of any sort since then. However yeah there are tons of options for wheels. I just checked out raceline, they look real nice but the offsets are all very odd and I'm not sure about their manufacturing methods.

Raceline makes quality wheels, they might be Chevy offsets.

A proper hub-centric spacer should be a none issue. I used them on many of my track cars. Some track organizations will only allow cars with spacers if they are hub-centric. Most people don't use them because of the cost. I agree, they do add another variable and those should be kept to a minimum.
