Default Wheel size/suggestion for for 35x12.5x17 Tires?
Anyone know the wheel size I would have to run for 35x12.5x17 nitto trail grapplers without having to run spacers? I'd like to get the right wheel size to avoid usage of spacers. Wasn't sure what the right back spacing would be. Thanks in advance.
Originally was going to use my stock 17x9 wheels but didn't want to run spacers.

The MODIFIED TECH FAQ sticky should answer all your questions. Buuuut if you don't feel like looking it up, the answer is 4.5" of backspacing in order to not run spacers and not rub. I ran 4.75" and was fine.

New here but I bought 17x9 Black Rhino wheels with 4.5" backspacing and run 315/70/17 Duratracs with no rubbing with a 2.5"BB lift.
Hope that helps.

By the way I don't think stock wheels are 17x9. I think they are 17x7.5.
