I just got a white Ranger Raptor here in the states. Good to see a fellow owner. I’m thinking of buying some new wheels and it’s nice to see your video for an idea on the offsets.
I have just done 315 70r17 Maxxis Razr MT on mine. These are on a +35 8.5" rim. There is still a fair amount of poke outside the flares. I check this by holding a straight edge up agsint the tyre from ground to flare, they measure as 18mm poke on the front and around 20mm on the rear. Another thing to consider is legality of the true 35's. 35's are 889mm on the BFG mud terrains according to their website while the stock 285/70/17 on raptor are listed as being 731mm. Based on the ADR's only allowing 50mm larger tyre then i dont think 35's are actually legal on RR. So a slightly smaller metric size would be a better path, also less issue with scrubbing, mine has been fine with mudflaps removed and a slight bend of the metal piece that used to hold the bottom of the mudflap. 315 70r17 on the stock RR rims at +55 could work and remain flush with flares. No regrets with my set up and can swap to factory wheel and tyre combo if needed.
I'm ordering mine in early 2025. I don't plan on going bigger than 33s tho. This truck is advertised at 33" but it's really 32.7". Personally, I think 33s, true 33s, would look perfect.
Go 33s or jus above I rather have the power and Fuel economy then lose it with 35s and it being petrol makes sense plus it's spends most of its time on road instead of offroad I was a 35s man till I got a bit older and wiser

i agree, i am going to end up on a 295/70r17 eventually
Also keen for a link to the wheel nuts you've swapped too, cheers in advance mate
Prob feel like you want 35’s because you have springs on there its not stock height so yea there is bigger opening that needs filled
i have been struggling with this still. im confident im just going to go with 295/70r17 essentially a larger 33
When I did Eibach springs on my TRX I wanted 37’s for the gap but I still wanted stock for the power

Wise words! Agree completely
I got the compression wheels too,good looking rim. Bf goodrich are terrible. Run falken wildpeaks
Hey mate how do you compare the raptor to your y62 in terms of pros and cons?
2 sets, 1 road, 1 off
Can you give us the link to those extended wheel nuts you got. Thanks

Any rub in the front tires on full compression?
Not with these little factory tyres. with 35's there is a few things you need to do for clearance
