I really like the 2 tone of the camper. It looks great. Which camper is it?
 
I went with Kanati trail hogs 275 70 18 on stock wheels No complaints. Looks good and performs great.
 
I feel like I've posted this way too many times, but since it's a wheel and tire thread, might as well post it again! Sorry to those who have heard it 1753 times.

Wheel Brand/Model: Method MR317, black
Wheel Size: 17x8.5
Offset: +18
Lift: 2.5" via suspension upgrade (see below)
Tire: MT Baja Boss A/T
Tire actual size: 35x12.50 (34.5x12.8 (ish))
Suspension Modification: Halo/Elka 2.5 IFP front coilover/rear shock
Cutting/Trimming Required: Nope
Rubbing Onroad: Nuh uh
Rubbing Offroad: Not yet, but I'll see what I can do! (not yet with good alignment)
Crash bar removal/modification: Nada. These are stock.


I do like this setup a lot. There is some poke but not a lot, the tires are great on and off road, and in the snow... no complaints so far!

Love this setup and I think this will be the way I end up going with my Tremor. Exact same everything- Halolifts, 315/70r17 Baja boss +18 offset.. but I'm debating between a few options for the wheels, KMC or Methods but I think I'm going to go with something bronze on my Oxford White tremor. I always thought 35s on 17s is the way to go for an off road oriented truck. Love me some sidewall!! Seems like I'm going the opposite way from all the people who want to put 35s on 24s. Plus I'm sure the increased sidewall will offset some of the harshness going to a 10 ply tire from the factory 4 ply grabbers.

I'm about to move to Wyoming from Canada so I think this is something I'll do in a few months. Perhaps I will even see if I can get it installed at Halolifts in Denver since it wouldn't be far once I make the move. Do keep us posted on if you experience any rubbing off road ever but I think this is a pretty safe setup obviously based on your feedback and as far as clearances go

It really has been a good setup so far, and considering that I did it all myself without any prior experience and minimal equipment (aside from the alignment, which was done professionally), it's really worked well. I would've preferred to have Kevin and Eve's crew install it, but they're a loooong way away and I needed to get it done on the cheap. I might add, though, that were I to do this again, I might opt for Stage 3 or higher suspension options, just to draw as much performance out of the shocks as possible. I went with Stage 1 because it was a less expensive way to get the lift needed for the 35"s and an upgrade to the suspension on the few dollars/hour I made as a resident.

The only rubbing I ever had with this was prior to this latest alignment- at full turn and good compression, the tires would hit a little corner piece of the factory wheel well cover. That's it. I haven't had that issue since getting it aligned completely and properly. But again, even when it wasn't aligned well at all, it'd just be a tiny bit of rubbing that I could've solve with a zip tie or trimming half an inch off the corner of the wheel well cover. Pretty happy with that as I had no idea what to expect aside from talking to a few people before jumping into that purchase.

I'll certainly update if anything changes. I hope you have a good experience with this setup!

I had considered bronze wheels, and I really like that color in wheels, but I think the black MR317s were on sale, so went that route from Custom Offsets. I do think the bronze would look great on your Oxford White.

Input Please! For one reason or another I'm getting a new set of wheels on my 23' Tremor. After much reading and basic research, I Have decided to go with Nitto Recon Grappler A/T LT305/70R18 (Load D) on KMC KM447 Satin Black 18x9 +0mm. Please let me hear the pros and cons of this decision. I do have concerns of the flex on the rear axle. I don't want my tires smacking my rear fender. Planning on pulling the trigger this week. I only have a 2" level puck.

You are going to rub with a +0 offset on a 305. Ask me how I know.

Going to want to go positive with that tire.

Have you considered 315/70r17s Baja boss ATs? Imo it's the best look for the tremor and the tire performs well

That's what @JordanRay did and I think it looks phenomenal:


With a 2" level there should be no rubbing at all at full lock & compression as long as you stick with a +18 or +25 offset. Imo it's the best beefy look on the tremor, and provides a little bit of poke but not too aggressive. I think it looks a lot more aggressive than a 305/70r18- more sidewall, wider tire, slighty less tall. If you go with a 17x8.5 rim you will still get some of that concave look depending on what style of wheels you go with

Also If you go with a +34 offset I believe you can even fit that setup without a level at all, the raptor takeoffs are 315/70r17s on a +34 wheel too.

Also I think the risk of touching fenders at full flex is low as the tires measure 34.5x12.8. only 1.3 inches more in OD than the stock 33s

Perfect setup, well done!
 
OEM grabbers vs Nitto Terra Grappler G3 275/70r18 SL

Ride: very quiet
Feel: soft and a bit wandering, but I know that will settle/wear in after a few miles
Appearance: more aggressive than grabbers, not as aggressive as BFG KO3 or MT BB

I'm happy with them so far. Don't get any rain here to judge wet performance really.

Thanks for the heads up on the Offset. I found a +20 to go with instead. You just saved me over a thousand bucks by changing wheels.

Learn from my mistake 😂

Thanks for the input. I drive a lot of highway miles and kind of like the idea of the 18" wheel. I'm going to get a more positive offset though. Thanks again

You can get a 315/70R18 on a Baja boss as well, but it’s going to be a far worse tire for commuting than the recon grappler.

If you’re driving on pavement a lot, recon all the way.
