Offset for 80 series wheels (1 Viewer)

[zaid175]

Looking at installing 17x9 wheels on my 80 series with either 285/70R17 or 305/70R17 tires.
What is the offset I should look for in order to have the wheels and tires flushed with the fenders?

Any specific brands recommended?

Thanks

They vary, but 8" is the widest factory rim used on 80s

9" wide wheel is too wide for a 285,or 305 tire IMO

If the wheel is too wide, you're more likely to get crud stuck in the bed offroad, or break the bead and cause a leak.
Narrower rim helps the tire protect the bead

I run a 17x9 with a -38

+1 - 9" too wide for those tire sizes.
8" with 4.25 BS and -12 offset gets you flush on flared models. 285/75s btw.
