Tires and Wheels

Hey guys. I've got my new tires (275/70r17). They were upgraded from the 235/75r17 and I'll eventually put 285s on it when these wear out. I'm in the market for new wheels and I'm loving the Fuel Boost wheels. I'm not super savvy on backspace and offset, but they offer a -12,1,14 and 20 offset. I'm wanting a more aggressive stance and with my 2" level on front I was wanting to know what offset to look at getting? I know the stock wheels usually run around the +44 range. I don't want my tires to stick out much but 1" would be good by me. Any suggestions?

25.4mm = 1"
+44 to +20 will move your wheels out about 1" on either side. -12 would be just over 2" further out than stock. The more negative offset will typically put you in a situation where trimming will be needed. +20 will put you about even with the fender lip.

So did you get the Boost? Any pics? I was looking at Fuel wheels-- Fuel Wheels|4WheelOnline.com and I'm planning to get the D517's but the Boost looks great also..

I'm having them ordered from my shop then having my new tires mounted while they do the level on it. I think the boosts look sweet, but I was also eyeing some Red Dirt Road wheels that look great and are about 50$ cheaper. I'll have pics asap as soon as they're on!
