New wheels and pizza cutters

I picked up a set of the heavily used MT 255/85R17s yesterday to find an answer to this exact question. They now measure 34" diameter but should give me a pretty good idea if they will work or not.

I do have a ~1.25" lift in the front so your mmv.

Sidenote: The sidewalls of the MT Baja Bosses are significantly wider than the tire carcass itself. I measured the carcass at the stated 10.1" wide but after including the beefed up sidewalls they measure more like 10.75".

See photo of stock michelin compared to MT BBs.

I’m waiting to hear back from FN wheels on the projected eta for their wheels. If memory serves me correctly they have some 17” wheels coming stateside with a 34mm and 40mm offset depending on which styles make it onto the shipping container.

They have a hub bore of 95.1mm and have been designed around the larger diameter rotors/calipers for better clearance.

They also have wheels with 48 offset, and I think it’s a better match for narrow tires.
