Decided to go with the SSW Dakar 17x9 +0 5x150
Key notes:
- BFG KO2 285/70R17 fit in the spare tire area
- Sensor lift front and rear
- Removed front mud flaps, plastic trim toward front of fender liner, relocated front fender liner further back, cut off front mud flap metal bracket, cut rocker panel where front mud flap bolts onto vertically, cut front fender liner bottom area horizontally, painted exposed metal, front SSW center caps do not fit hence being capless.
That’s about it for now, no rubbing in low, neutral, or high. Went on a light trail today without any issues or rubbing. Happy to share more photos, as of this moment I do not have detailed photos of the above mentioned work. Plenty of YouTube videos available that helped guide me toward my decision on rim/tire size, sensor lift, and trimming needed to fit wheels without rubbing.
Aired tires down to 20 psi for the trail without rubbing, drive them at 40 psi daily without rubbing.
20 psi sets off tpms, once filled back to 40 psi tpms light goes away.
Thoughts? Feedback? Questions?
