Can I get away with 305/70R18 BF Goodrich KO2s WITHOUT changing to 0/25 offset wheels?

Hi everyone,

I know this question gets asked a million times a day, but I am looking for some input.

I am wanting to upgrade to 35” tires from 33s. My current set up is four Bilstein 5100s with the fronts on top settings (approx. 2.3” of lift) and factory wheels with +50-60mm offset. I am currently running 33x12.5x18 M/Ts. I am having an ARB Summit bumper installed on the front which I know will pull my front end down some. (i am upgrading my coils later to heavy duty ones)

I know the upgraded bumper will give me some leeway, but I know that ideally I need upgrade my wheels to wheels with offset from 0 to +25 to prevent rub on my cab/body mount, especially if i wanting to run true 35s. I am leaning more towards +25 because I think the 0 offset wheels will stick out further than my liking.

I am fine with either 17 or 18” wheels but would like to run 17s.

My question is do you think I can get away with running a 305/70R18 BF Goodrich KO2s WITHOUT changing to 0/25 offset wheels AND run them WITHOUT rubbing? They have a diameter of 34.8" and a width of 12.2"

All input is appreciated! TIA!

 

Yes, with a BMC

 

Do you think new wheels with proper offset, I could avoid a bmc?

 

Also considering Toyo AT3 (295/70/R18s)
34.3” and 11.8” wide, but I don’t want to lose that much width.

 

The wheels and tires and suspension stickies should have all your answers

 

The wider wheels put the tire closer to the body mount vs oe wheels
