Anyone put on Raptor wheels yet?
I was just curious if anyone had done this yet. I would love to throw a set on my FX4 with the BFGs or a similar size tire in the future if possible.
I was thinking though, is the offset different on these wheels compared to the rest because of the wider track on the Raptor? I know the front suspension is pushed out a bit due to the long travel setup, but the back is the same right? So I just wondered since the track is so wide and requires the extended fenders, if it was simply all because of the suspension pushing the wheels out or the offset on the wheels was also a factor.

The rear axel tubes are longer as well if I understand the information I read correctly. However the information I read also states the only rear axle difference is that the tubes are from the rear axles that are speced for trucks sent to Mexico. The tubes are a bit thicker because trucks used in that region are more likely to be overloaded. The only reason I know this is because I really wanted a RAPTOR but the load capacity is not high enough to accomidate my needs. Sorry for the not really an answer.
