Did you end up removing the crash bars?
If you had to do it again, would you stick with 0 offset or go slightly positive? I'm looking at method wheels too... but +25mm.
Are these with the terra grapplers? I found these in a load C at 60lbs. At the same size, toyo is 58/59 lbs. But toyo has a 34 in a load D that's lighter LOL. It's also slightly smaller at 33.5" vs 33.9" of the 285 variant. I like your setup - I think I'm going to get the 0 offset version.
Digging up an old thread - safe to assume you kept the crash bar plates? I'm looking at MR323 wheels as they have an option to go +25mm, which is closer to our stock wheel spec. I'm looking at 34x10.5r17 load D tires as they are lighter than 285/75/17 tires in load C (toyo open country at3s).
Are these 285/75/17? Damn, I think I might need 0 offset too then. The stock +20 looks decent - I was worried about dropping 5mm because the wheels I want are either 0 or +25.
Got any shots of the poke? I've been considering these wheels since '24 LOL. I really like how they look. Also, these look like toyo tires - have you considered 34x10.5r17 toyos? I'm assuming these are load C, which is heavier than the load D tire I mentioned. I'm trying to be mindful of weight...
If you went with a thinner tire, would you clear without removing anything? Or was it more your offset that would cause the collision? Funny enough, I've been eyeing the same set of wheel you have, just a different offset so I can keep the crash bar. If I have to remove the crash bar, I might...
Are these wildpeak at3w's? I'm looking to drop down to 17's too. Consider toyo open country at3's but as a 34x10.5r17 load D... they also have 285/70/17 load c but it's heavier LOL. I'm looking at +25mm offset method wheels though. Do you think you'd still clear with +25mm? Also, where did you...
I meant 285/70/18's btw LOL
As for the offset, I was referring to increasing it to move them inboard. Lowering the offset would move them outboard and would probably cause contact.
That probably means 285/70/17's will rub. Curious though, do you think a higher offset would help? Wondering if the OR wheel might be better equipped for larger tires
your reply was less than 12 hours - that's super fast LOL
But thanks for the reply either way. I'm wondering if not all trailhunters will get an updated cover.
Did yours come with the newer "non-riveted" cover too? Mine has those "cover-ups" and the dealership was not aware of this smoother cover. They double-checked with their parts manager too.
I'm considering design a piece - I have trailhunter fenders (since I have a trailhunter LOL) and I just need a non-TH/non-PRO bumper to take measurements against. If I had a non-TH/non-PRO model, I'd be looking into what you did and try an OEM route as much as possible. I would have started with...
As long as the valve is protected, then it's fine. If it's not, I'd stay away as my buddy blew his LS1 engine. We both had LS1FDs and the time.... he was out doing "canyon" runs and bottomed out somewhere along the way. Anyway - the large valve (Fumoto) broke off and he spun a bearing as he lost...
For the life of me, I couldn't find this build thread on FB as mentioned by TRD.JON - glad I found it here!
I was really close to getting a Hybrid off-road... during my hunt, I came across a trailhunter on the lot LOL. Long story short, I think you all know what happened =).
Kudos to you for...
