Do u know what the backspacing is on them? Mine is 5.43 inches so I can figure it out if u let me know. I wanted mine close to stock and they only stick out the slightest amount. I wish I would have gone with 295/70/17 with my level though. Will be next set of tires and probably a mud terrain as it would look so much better.

.72 farther from backspacing difference. 31 mm from offset difference(1.25 inches) and a half inch on each side from the wheel being an inch wider. So it will stick out 2.47 inches further than mine. Call it 2.5 inches.

Worse case scenario is to add fender flares if u don't have them for a little extra coverage. I don't remember, do they have +12 or +18 for them with around 5 inches bs?

My older wheels i had before where not V-Tec raptor wheels, but here is a picture of how much they stuck out.
my specs for my wheels were
-6 offset
4.75 backspace
17x9
I am using 35x12.5 tires, so that might also make it stick out more.

here is the front.
