Would the attached wheels/tires fit on my LC 1958 Trim?

Wheels - Method 305 17x8.5 | 6x5.5 | 25/5.7
Tires - MT Baja Boss 295/70 R17

Icon has a video testing different wheels and clearance, they say 25 offset is a bad idea without a lift. Stick with something around 40.

you want to be around 45 to 35 MM for larger tires with no lift. I have 35mm and 285/75/17 and fit fine spare sticks out a little more but it tucked pretty far up as it could go.

Agree, I have the Method 703 in a +35 with nitto terra grappler 3 in a 285/70/17 and the spare is pretty low. I don't think the 295 fits in the spare tire mount.

Decisions decisions… just got my 703’s. Still debating tires. Appreciate the response.

With that width and offset, you may have some issues with rubbing/clearance. If you get something like the 703 with a +35 offset, you'd have a better chance of getting everything to fit nicely. Mickey Thompson says that tire is a 33", so the diameter of the tire will fit with no issues. Here's an excellent video showing the details of how to get bigger tires to fit...

I think I finally understand offset.

Your also likely to not fit the spare space with that tire..

To me the amount of poke resulting from fitting those tires would not look good. But some people apparently like the big poke.
