This is why I went with Raptor wheels. I new 315/70/17 would not rub. 34.5 x12.5 Best of all, they don't stick out. No offense to those that do like that look. I removed the 20" wheels when I got the truck because and only because I wanted a more off road truck.

Awesome photo! As a 56 year old Floridian that lives at the beach and only seen snow once, I am impressed. On the other hand, I would not trade places. I'll keep it in mind as a vacation destination.

I agree. I didnt really like the fact that the wheel stuck out past the fender. With the RPG stage 3 rear setup though I needed the extra clearance otherwise I would've gone your route. Your truck looks great!

chukarfx4 Guess I misunderstood. I thought your wheels were the same off set as Raptor wheels. That's why I was agreeing with you. Hard to tell from the photo

chukarfx4 - Raptors have a 4.5" backspacing.
Mis-Information.

6.16"
.


Quick Reply: 17" too small for fx4?
