    I’m always on the hunt for wheels.
    Wanting to go to 18’s or 17’s.
    Came across some RW’s in great condition with lightly used Nitto G2’s for $800. (Haven’t made him an offer yet so not sure how low he’d go.)
    You guys think that’s a solid deal? Usually I don’t see them for less than $1k it seems.

    RW are 17” wheels. 34”+ on a 17” wheel would like great. How’s the condition of the wheel? With the stock RW offset, you’ll need wheel spacers too.

    Already have wheel spacers so problem solved.
    Waiting to hear back from him but pictures seem to show them in great condition.
    Always like those wheels.

    Much cheaper than new wheels too.

    The tires are 285-70-17. Not sure I’d be able to stand having smaller tires for long.

    I believe you do not need wheel spacers because rock warriors will clear 35s specifically because of their offset.

    Id be curious when he replied. I heard RW are sought after for that reason. The spacers would push them out to the point where the tire would then contact the cab mount. IIRC Icon wheels specs were very similar because of that reason.

    Any case, curious what @csuviper has to say

    @csuviper lets hear it!
    I actually would like to get rid of my spacers, I’d like them to just be flush with my fenders.
    I’m not worried about rubbing. I’ve already pushed in & molded the front inside of my wheel wells and have done the CMC already.

    RW wheels are nice and they are light weight. I did run spacers becaus the tire was close to the stock UCAs that I had on initially.

    I think you might be able to get away with not running spacers if you run 285/75-17

    It's just shy of 34 inches tall and 11 inches wide I believe.

    A true 35x12.5 will require spacers iirc

    So they were not necessary, installed for cosmetic purposes if I read that correctly

    Before wheel spacers. It fit.
    I remember when I added the wheel spacers I had to trim more plastic on the front of the wheel well.

    Thanks guys. Looks like it comes down to how wide of tires I go with and what I like for looks. I have the spacers already so I can play around with both.

    Also just heard from seller...I took a chance and offered $600 and said she thinks that’ll be just fine but needed to triple check with husband.
    If they confirm $600 then they’re mine.

    Meaty tires. Ideally I was hoping for a 34x11.5” tires so something around 285-75-17.
    Is that the size you’re running on your new Icons?

    Just don't forget new lug nuts. RW wheels need spline nuts.
