Backspacing/Offset Wheel & Tire Help
Gents - I've just bought a 2004 F250 V10.
I'm planning on putting a Zone 4" lift.
I plan to replace wheels and tires and go with this:
Toyo R/Ts 285 75 18 (34.8" x 11.3")
The wheel I was wanting is 17x9 w/a 0 Offset.
The other option is running 35 12.5 17s w/a 17x9 w/a -12 Offset.
Which would you recommend and will they rub?
Thank you!

Zero or negative offset should push your wheel outwards. I doubt you will have any issue with rubbing on a 4" lift. You may want some fender flares to cover the offset though, I think stock is around 40mm, so you are pushing your wheel out about two inches. Pick the combo you like best and run with it, both should work.

I have found 22mm offsets, it still will leave the wheel a bit outside of the fender but much closer to stock.

what is the back space on those wheels?
I've used both a 4" back space and a 4.5" on my 00 sd with 315's 4.5 is the most you can go with front leaf springs without any rubbing for a normal 12.5" wide tire

I'm wanting to run a 35" (or close) tire and am in need of some new wheels.
Was gonna go with 18 or 17x9s.
There is a Toyo R/T out there that is 285 75 18 (34.8 x 11.3) so not as wide as a traditional 35 12.5 tire.
I was gonna run the 285 75 18 on a 18 x9--just need to figure out what offset and BS I would need to keep tires under the fenders.

the 5" bs will rub at full lock, go with the 4.53.
I'm running 18x9 methods with 4.5" bs -12 offset with 315/70r18 (35.7x13) toyos

Your truck looks great!
Mine is a V10 as well (2004).
It's my hunting/camping pull ATVs rig--gonna add a topper as well.
Would you mind posting a side pic of your truck with the topper (what kind?)?
Thank you for all your help!

thanks, mine is my hunting camping rig as well. it has a 4.5" coilover conversion front with the longer 08 rear 4.5" carli leaf springs.
have you tried squeezing more power and mpg out of your v10 yet?
I did a 5 star tuner, electric fans(removed the belt driven fan) and banks headers. I'm seeing 13.8mpg at 65/70mph on a ultra gauge and not the overhead lie-o-meter
I also built some lockable drawers for tools, gear and guns. they're all black now

Looks fantastic!
Just picked it up last night--purchased from a guy north of San Diego.
Father-in-law drove out to Denver for me and I drove it back to Wichita KS last night.
What kind of topper?
Done nothing to it except vacuum it out and spray some Frebreeze in it last night--guy had his lab (dog) in it--alot.
