Seems like just barely! I’m about to put a FCP suspension..
Wow, yeah that looks amazing! So 17x? with a zero offset? In addition to offset, wheel width also affects poke so I always like to know the wheel width.
Wheels are 17x8.5 [0 ET]. Tires are Nitto Terra Grappler 265/70/r17.Wow, yeah that looks amazing! So 17x? with a zero offset? In addition to offset, wheel width also affects poke so I always like to know the wheel width.

FYI, if anyone else is thinking of this, apparently Nomad now offers their wheels in +25 offset. Would have been great if they came out with them like 3 months ago...
Oh well, such is life.

At first I wasn’t to sold on the 501s but they have really grown on me. In between them or some methods.
How about 0 offset with pizza cutter tires?
How about 0 offset with pizza cutter tires? Possibly 255s?
I was thinking the same. 0 offset with pizza cutter tires. We might be able to run close to 34” with a lift ofcors
Pizza cutters, or tall skinnies would probably rub less and have few fitment problems, if, for no other reason than most are only about 33". They can be a good option, depending on the terrain you mostly drive on off road. For me, I prefer slightly more width and option to lower pressure and get the "bulge" from airing down, which not only gives better traction, but also offers some protection for the wheels from rocks etc, but if you're only looking for appearance and a slight amount of extra ground clearance then they are great.

Most wheels are at least 8” wide, 255’s will give very little wheel protection.
Figured I would throw this in here since there is no dedicated thread on Nomad wheels on our cruisers. As the OP mentioned nomad recently released the convoys in 17x8.5 +25
I just got a set and put them on. This is how they look on my 100 (utility gray color)
