Which wheel do you recommend to avoid rub?
I previously posted this in the wheel forum, but it's pretty specific to only applying to the new 04 truck.
Which wheel do you recommend for 04 FX4
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
