My Black Diamond will be arriving soon with 17" steel wheels (17 x 7.5) and P265/70R17 (32") tires. The stock setup. I think this will be a good setup for winter but for the summer I'd like to have a different set of rims and a little larger tire to fill the wheel well a bit more. For tires I'm thinking P285/70 R17 (about 33") or P285/75R17 (about 34"). I'm fairly confident the P285/70/R17 will fit without any clearance or rubbing issues since that's what's run on the non SAS badlands. I'm not sure if the P285/75/R17 will have clearance or rubbing issues?
For rims I'd like to stick with Ford factory rims which means my options are the base badlands (17 x 7.5) with a +55 offset or the Sasquatch 17 x 8.5 which have a +30 offset. I was going to use the optional (bead lock capable) non SAS Badlands 17 x 8 with +55 offset rims but turns out they are hard to find. I don't really care much for the Badlands base 17 x 7.5 rims but I like the 17 x 8.5 sasquatch rims and they are very easy to find. My question. Has anyone tried this tire size on a sasquatch rim with the Black Diamond trim level and if you have were there any clearance or rubbing issues? The offset calculator says the tire will sit about 1 3/8" farther out with the +30 offset and new tire size so that might mean I would need SAS flares? Before I start ordering up product I just want to be sure the tire/rim combination will work without issue.
Thanks
