Default GX470 Workable Wheel Offset Range

I'm looking at some new wheels for my '05 GX, which are Method Racing 17x8" MR313s. They have discontinued the OEM offset version (+25mm) and now only sell a 0 offset version, which would push the wheel out 25mm. Curious if that will work without serious rubbing issues. Has anyone run a similar offset or have any guidance on what range works? Obviously, I do not want to go more inboard, but wouldn't mind pushing the wheels outboard a bit.

Thanks in advance.

It will work, you MAY have some minor rubbing on the fender liners (depends largely on tire size as well). You can drill new mounting holes in them and push the liners forward and out of the way easily.

For reference, I'm running -12mm offset wheels and 265/70/17 tires on mine, and had to do the above.

I have -12 on 17X 9 wheels, Standard size 265/65/17 Destination AT2 tires.. They stick just outside of the side steps. No spacers.

You’ll be fine with a 0 offset.

I'm running 0 offset with 285s and the sidewall of the tire sticks out but not the tread so you're fine.

Nice! What rims did you chose? Do you have any more pics you can share? I'm interested in also upgrading my rims for more "poke" but I want to keep my 265/65/17 BFG KO2s Thanks!
