My 17” Methods JUST BARLEY clear the rear calipers, I know some 17” wheels, the inner barrel doesn’t clear at all and can’t be ran on max tow trucks because the rear brakes are larger.

Someone local has new take off Raptor wheels with KO2s for sale for $1500 I was thinking of grabbing for winter wheels..

I thought max tow required 18” as a general rule? I could be wrong though I don’t have that package

Can confirm you need 1 1/2” wheel spacers to fit 17” raptor wheels on a Max tow, as the wheel weights smack your rear calipers. Any smaller of spacers and you’ll need to trim your factory studs(bad idea) You need wheels with an offset of -38mm or more. I’ve heard bad things about spacers but from what I’ve read if you get quality spacers (billet steel or aluminum hub centric) and torque your work down correctly they are as good as an offset wheel. Only thing is you’ll have to do your own tire rotations and possibly brakes as most mechanics around here won’t touch them.
I’ve had great luck so far with them after figuring all of this out with the help of this forum.
