I really like the looks of the American Racing Chamber wheels, but I'm concerned about fitment with my tire choice and how far the tire will extend past the fender.
I have an '04 4x4 which has been leveled by removing the 2" spacer in the rear. I currently have 255/70-17" tires and would like to go up only maybe one or two sizes to a 265 or 275-17". Is the 17x9 rim too wide for this size tire? Also these rims have a 4.5" backspace and -12 offset. From what I understand this means the wheel will stick out an additional 2.5" past the fender than the stock wheels correct? I would really rather stay within a 1/2" or so from stock. If anyone knows for sure please please reply.
Thanks

Sorry I meant to post this in the aftermarket wheels forum, if anyone knows how to move this to there please do so.

 

I like those wheels, are you going to get the black/teflon ones?

I know they will stick out and I think it is 2", but I'm not sure.

Don't know how much help you're going to get though, maybe you should have posted this in the Wheels and Tires section?

 

You might get better answers over on one of the other boards that is about wheels and tires.
