I’m planning on putting a set of black rhino primm wheels, 17x9 0 offset and 5in of bs next month after I get a set of rubi fenders. I’m just worried about issues rubbing at full lock on the control arms if that’s going to be an issue.

Anyone have photos or can confirm it clears? Not wanting to get the 4.29in bs -18mm offset version of the wheel.

Thanks for the info man, how much poke do you have with your setup?

I prefer a good bit of poke, so -18mm would prob be my cup of tea. Was actually looking at the same wheel recently. I’m running a -12mm 4.5 bs wheel rn and it clears fine. Pretty aggressive look but not over the top poke.

I have about 2-2 1/2 inches poking out.. I have been seriously considering getting some quadratech wheels with a 10mm offset to suck them in a little bit, my neighbor has their Moprhic style wheels mounted on 315 70 Bf tires and it looks great without any rubbing, we are both lifted 2" so I don't know if that makes a huge difference but you should be totally ok with a 0 offset..

I like poke as well, part of getting it to look a little more aggressive. But i’m more concerned with rubbing if i’m flexing it out. Have any photos of how much your wheels poke?

I figure -18mm offset is the same as a rubi running 0 offset however if my math is right.

Oh yeah, I’ve got a strong feeling mine would rub a bit in the rear if flexed out.....I’m only running a 2” lift so my up-travel is limited.

Then again, mine is a daily driver and I don’t have any intentions of doing hard core rockcrawling atm ??‍♂.
