I've read literally ALL topics that mentioned 33", 285/70r17 and 255/80r17 but haven't arrived at a conclusion yet. Giving my shot asking here again.
I have a 2010 Prado 150 and am looking at changing my 265/70 BF KO (old version) into Flaken's 285/70. I have questions around what is really needed to not rub.
Offset: Stock wheels are 25P and I've read that 15P are enough to not rub. I was thinking about putting some steelies, but they come in 0 offset. Would that push the tyre too far out? There are also 10P but they are 17x9 instead of 17x8. There are 15P 17x8 as well.
My car has arb bullbar and a tough dog suspension, which was there since I bought so not sure what lift it has. Reading at their website supposedly it is 40mm, so a bit under 2", but when I compare to other Prados, I always think mine is sagged, lower than others.
I never do heavy trails, rock crawling etc.. but do go to sand dunes which sometimes are quite bumpy, not sure if enough to be problematic though.
I'd appreciate very much any guidance you can give in terms of wheel offset, if steelies will mess up my ride due to weight and if I can put the 285 at the rear door.. or even if I SHOULD. My current step tyre is a KO2 brand new on stock rims.
Thanks so much,
Martinez
