Wheel Offset Question

[RCHondaMan]

I have a 2016 Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe with a newly installed 2.5” signature series lift, 1.5” wheel spacers on all four (as required per highlighter) to run stock tires with no rubbing. Looking to put new Tusk beartooth rims 14x7 on it and intimidator 28x14x10 Tires . The rims are available in 14x7 with a 4.0 + 3.0 and or a 5.0 + 2.0 not sure which would be the best and would I still have to run the spacers?

Surely I must be missing something???

You have a LIFT, but had to use wheel spacers in order to run STOCK tires????

Yes the bracket lift moves the shocks outward toward the tires where they could possibly rub The shocks high lifter recommendation

Double post. Sorry. See below.

Oof!

Well for my stock suspension P1K5 Basic I went with 5+2 offset all around with a 1" spacer in the rear for width symmetry with the front. 14x7 wheels and 28-10x14 Regulators btw. I can now rotate all tires + spare.

If you want to go that way, by my math you'd need to keep your front spacer and go with a rear 2.5" spacer (1.5" existing lift required + 1") for the rear if you want front/rear tire width symmetry. Check my math. 🤔

ETA - the 4+3 offset will give you an extra 1" clearance over the 5+2, so you're still 1/2" shy if the lift company wants a 1.5" clearance. Since it appears you'd still have to run a 1.5" spacer for lift clearance, I would not want that extra 1" the 4+3 rim gives hanging off there - especially if I was trying for front/rear tire width symmetry. Not good I'd imagine for long term bearing life.

Clear as mud? Hopefully someone smarter than me can verify I've given ya good info.
