After choosing the rim style the biggest question seem to be how to get the desired level of poke out from the truck. I see alot of comparison on offset but not as much regarding different wheel widths. The consesus seems to be that stock TRD Offroad wheels are 7.5" wide with a +55 Offset. In american that 55mm is approx 2.16". If you were to get aftermarket wheels that are also 7.5" wide with 0 Offset, you will now be poked out 2.16" more. However, its more common to see wider wheels in the aftermarket. Here is where I would like someone to check my math. If you got an 0 offset rim that is now 8.5" wide, that is 1" wider than stock. Since the rim splits the width between inner and outer you are increasing the poke by .5" for the wheel and 2.16" for the offset and now are at 2.56" poke. Also, the LT265/70R17 has a tire section width of 10.7" and moving up to a LT286/79R17 has a section width of 11.5" for an added .8". Divide that by two because like the rim, tires poke on both sides that adds .4" to the sectional tire poke for a total of 2.96". The actual tread width is only .5" total more but I wanted true full poke. So when comparing options, offset has the biggest effect but those other factors could cause some variations. Does all of that add up?
FYI Icon's recommeded combo is 17" x 8.5" 25 MM Offset and LT285/70R17 youtube link for a total poke at side wall of just over 2". (1.19" offset - .5" wheels - .4" wider sidewall)
