0 Offset on 34s+

[SEAWOLF]

I’ve been running the Kenda 35x10.5r17 on Fifteen52 Analog HD with 0 offset. Had to do some light trimming, shaping, etc. I have noticed a slight rub on the KDSS bolt…it’s probably not enough to warrant the relocation kit, but I’m curious: would changing to a +25 offset wheel HELP or HURT the contact it’s making with the KDSS? I’m thinking it will be worse, but I could have things backwards, can someone weigh in for certain?

I’m inclined to move to a +25 offset so there’s less ‘poke’ out of the the wheel well, but I don’t want to make issues worse with the KDSS.

Going down to a 25mm offset wheel will get that tire jammed square into the kdss bar. It will make things worse for sure by moving the tire one inch closer to the kdss bar and cylinder/boot. Best option is to go with the kdss relocation set up when running bigger than a 34" tire.

Nomad Arvo 502 0mm offset, BFG KO2 285/75/17 and OME 2". No KDSS, no BMC, inner liner and some rocker plastic trimming.

Any side pictures to see the “poke”?

I haven't owned that Cruiser in over 2.5 years now. This is the best side profile pic I could find for poke. The tire was maybe 1/4" outside of the fender.

That’s perfect. I keep reading how the raceline 17x8.5 wheels with 0 offset will look and perform terrible, but yours look great in the same size tire I’m using so I’m inclined to give them a shot.

There are quite a few who run a +/- 0mm offset. I had to do a little trimming at the rear of the wheel well, but no issues otherwise.
