I'm currently debating between the Eagle Alloy 187 or 137. I have a 2.5" leveling kit (DR) and 315/70/17 BFG AT's on order.

I want to minimize the chance of rubbing with this combo.

Wheel specs: 187 are 17/9 with 4.625 BS and -8mm offset.
137 are17/8 with 4.95 BS and +14mm offset.

I currently have stock 18/7.5 w/5" BS, can't find offset info but if I'm doing the math correctly it's positive 1.25".

I know the 17/9 will stick out more, but I'm trying to avoid any rubbing issues. This is my first time upgrading rims/tires on a truck so any experience you can share would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jerry

 

You will have less chance of rubbing with the 17x8's. I can't remember anyone running 35's on 17x9's with only 2.5 inch lift. I'm not saying it won't work, I just can't remember anyone doing it.
