Offset confusion
you'll rub.
the tire will actually be about closer than the stock tire does. not much. but still closer
your still going to have a 4.5" back space just like the stock wheels, plus the extra tire there.
-20 will put you right at where the stock wheel/tire sits compared to the radius arms. you shouldnt rub with this offset, though you still might with a meaty tire.

Agree with this. But if you know you aren't going to re-torque them consistently, I wouldn't. You have to get ones that are around 2" so that they have new studs pressed in. The thinner ones require trimming the stock studs to fit the adapters - which I consider a big no-no.
****, that's right on your front ends. Good God -88?

you only have to re torque them after the first 100 miles, then you should be good, but if you rotate your wheels every 3k-4k when you do your oil then you can check them then too, but you'll have to recheck the wheel to spacer again at 100 miles(just like you would have to do with a normal tire rotation.
trimming the stock studs isnt bad, especially if you have the speed studs (no threads for about half an inch)
yep -88 lol 15x10 with a 2" back spacing, only about a 1/4 of the tire sits under/inside the truck
go here LINK
fill out the stock tire and wheel in the first side. 235x70 r 15 with an offset of +1
then you can fill out the second one on what tire wheel combo you want. it is metric so fill out the rim info first then the tire and just look at the picture until you get the tire size( it shows inches)
315x65 r 17 -12 is the combo your looking at now.
the boxes below tell the new locations in relation to suspension, how much it fills out the wheel well(on a stock height vehicle), and new speedo reading.

17" Wheels from 2003 King Ranch. I like oem wheels for their durability. Used hub centric wheel adapter/spacers.....they dont give em away, $250 bones if I remember right, might have been more.
Edit. Tire price kinda offset. 31x10.50 were about $200 more for a set than what I bought 255/65/17.

Whew! Those are really sticking out there then! Run through wheel bearings often? Haha
