GX550 Aftermarket Wheel & Tire Thread

Any issues with rubbing?
Nope. No issues whatsoever.

Looks good! Maybe I'll start with this instead of getting new rims. Thanks again!
thats what I said too. this was the "cheapest" upgrade, and I don't hate the rims so I'll likely do some other stuff first. I also read that these are forged and made by Rays, so thats kind of cool.
 
Just swapped out the standard 22" wheels for a new winter wheel/tire set. I went with 20 x 9 Niche Vice wheels with a +30 offset, wearing Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 tires measuring 275/55R20. The ride is very smooth which I expected over the lower profile stock tires.

Nice! Just got the 20 x 9 Niche Vice wheels on mine with 275/55R20XL Toyo Open Country AT III's

Here is the side view of my truck with Westcott lift, +35mm offset Method 703s, and 35x12.5x17 Toyo AT3s at the manufacturer's specified 35 psi.

So with 11.5 tires and 35mm offset, picture my side view with the tire tucked inboard a 1/2 inch (your 11.5 would be 1 inch narrow, thus 1/2 inch per side. It would be a negligible difference.

If you are poked 10mm farther outboard with a +25mm offset, that's a bit less than 1/2 inch, so it should look essentially the same as my setup. You'll be a few mm inboard of mine, all else being equal. Again, negligible.

Prepare to be happy, you'll like the Westcott treatment!
 
Gram Lights Tranx - Overseas (17x8 ET+20) - 35x11.5R17 Wildpeak AT4W. Definetely need to do all the mods that Wescott Design recommends to fit 35's. Brake calipers had to be grinded down in certain areas to clear calipers from rubbing. This is without the lifting colars.

Sorry, to be clear, they didn't clear before or after the lift? 17x8's were rubbing on the calipers?
