    Hello to everyone. I am new to all this and have looked for an answer to the question I am about to ask. However, some of the answers I have seen make no sense to me so I am hoping to get a dumbed down response I guess. I am about to do a suspension lift to my 2015 trail. I found a set of wheels I liked and was gonna run 285's on them. However, the wheel is a 17x9 and it seems evidence based on these threads I would have issues with that. Could anyone explain a way for me to still run these and not have functionality issues? Thanks in advance.

    The wheels are pro comp series 40 vertigo. It says they have an offset of -6 and a back space of 4.75.

    I am still not an expert on back spacing and off set numbers (or measurements that indicate exactly where the tire will sit due to design of wheel), but i do know for certain that without a lift those tires are going to rub your fenders and possibly more

    I am not sure which one, but I am going to do a 3" suspension lift at the same time.

    Ok that helps but you still may need to mod the fenders so they dont rub and possibly a body mount chop. Are you just picking this wheel for looks? 9" width is a tad on the large side if you plan on staying on pavement most of the time...which most of us do. I would encourage you to try 8-8.5" width max and look for something that has specs very similar to the stock trail wheels of your '15

    Yea, I just haven't really found many wheels I care for. That is the only one I really like but it does not come in a standard size for my trail.

    I went through the same contemplations. Weight was another factor i considered at the end. Stealthcustomseries.com has very great specs for toyotas but are hard to come by. Methodracewheels.com has some friendly toyota specs too. 139.7mm=5.5inches btw, threw me for a loop once. Some of methods beadlocks are a fraction off and a cheap ring is necessary for perfect fit. The ol' googler is your friend
