Trying to decide on new wheels/tires and fit

[RookieBlue7]

I’m down to 2 wheels and tires looking at Custom Offsets and was curious if anyone had tried either on a Mav with no lift or leveling and had success with no scrubbing

I’m down to the 2 wheels and same BFG tire. I’ve seen several with the Fifteen52 Metrix but not this model and haven’t seen any with the Weld wheel when looking (maybe I haven’t used the right search terms). Looking at the post with the different tires/visualizer on here the tires should be fine but wanted to be certain.

they’re going on my Oxford white mav (I have the tan SofTopper).

Note: Someone had Fuel Zephyr which is also 17x8.5 with 245/70/17 like the first wheel/tire combo you posted and I believe there was slight rubbing due to the offset. Double check on that in case it's an issue.

You can probably search for fuel or zephyr and find the thread.

good luck!

The offset on the Zephyr is 25 where the Weld is 38 which is close to what I found for factory offset (between 30 and 39 depending on which factory wheel). That’s why I was considering the Weld. I was assuming matching something in the factory offset range would work without scrubbing.

Bronze wheels look great! Sorry mine were 18" with a 40 offset, 265/60/18 tires - No rubbing

^ This is one of my favorite wheel and tire combos on here.

I can chime in here. You will most likely still rub even with the factory offset wheel due to the 1.5" wider wheel. I ran that same size tires on factory wheels (7" width and 37.5mm offset) and had zero rub. Moved to aftermarket wheels with similar to factory offset (8.5" width) and had slight rub. I just want to make sure your expectations are realistic. That being said it only rubbed on the front and not the pinch weld so it was easy to massage the front liners with a heat gun. Personally I think the second wheel looks way better, I'm not a fan of the fake bead lock wheels on these little FWD based pickups but good luck with your decision.
