Zero offset for 100 LC with port-installed fender flares

[leoMax]

I've searched but can't seem to get a good amount of hits on LC's with fender flares and Method zero offset wheels. Trying to get a good idea of how much the wheels will poke out with my setup.

You staying stock wheel size?

No, going 285/75/17. Also getting a Dobinson lift.

+60mm is stock offset, so the wheels will move out a bit over 2 1/4".

Problem you will run into, on full suspension compression the tire will blow the flair hardware off, the flair is inset more than the fender itself. I ran a SCS wheel 16x8 +10 with a 285/75/16 and 1” crank and it contacted the flair/flair hardware. Have since went back to stock wheels with 1” spacer.

They look great on there. I plan on getting a 1.5 Dobinson lift with the tire and wheel upgrade. I don't plan on going full compression down here, but you make a valid point.

Yes, that set up ripped the flair hardware off on full stuff. Lift may help but it should still be able to cycle all the way to bump which will contact flairs. It looked great but I’m more about function than esthetics. We have chatted before on your post about the flairs.

It's a damned if if do, damned if you don't dilemma with flares. A higher positive offset with flares doesn't look the best, but a lower offset can rip'em right off. I'm thinking a +25 seems to be the sweet spot which are harder to find from what I've found. Also, my stock wheels are 18's and I'd like to go down to 16 or 17.

FN makes a 100 series specific wheel that is 17x8 +30 they are hub centric and the caps work on the front hubs. They are really the only wheel that is the correct fitment for 100s rest are kinda more for Tundras that “work” on 100s. The SCS is a nice wheel too, would have kept it if it was a little higher offset.

Fitment on these is more important than esthetics, in my opinion.

100 series wheels are best at +40 to +25 IMO. Zero puts the tire a ways out there and you get the squatting bug look. +40 to +25 looks more aggressive but avoids most the tire fitment difficulty.

I did the Method 319 18x8.5” with 40 offset. They don’t stick out with 275/70 18 tires. Taller but are almost located same as stock with this setup

This is what 0 offset with just a 265 looks like, 285 will clobber you:
