Question on METHOD 17" wheels and OFFSET and TRIMMING

[plankton99]

I have a TRD ORP and am installing the Westcott Preload Collar Lift Kit to fit 35-inch tires.

When comparing wheel offsets of +35, +25, and +0, will the +0 offset, which provides more "poke," require more aggressive trimming to prevent rubbing?

With the necessary trimming and a suitable offset, will this setup allow for full suspension articulation off-road without rubbing, or is it primarily for on-road use?

Factory wheels are around +53 and tucked closer to the chassis. I have 17" methods with +25. That moved the wheel out towards the edge of the fender. As you go down to zero you will get more poke. 35" tires are usually wider and heavier. A 275 AT4 is only about 3/8" narrower than the same tire in 285. Keep in mind the wider and taller of a tire will get a lot heavier and drag on performance and gas mileage.
