Zero Offset wheels, stock suspension. Can it be done?

[JDW]

I've read every thread here that even vaguely mentions offsets and don't have a definitive answer. So let's get right to the point.

Can we run zero offset wheels on an otherwise completely stock truck? No suspension mods, no cutting, no trimming.

Is anyone running zero offset wheels currently? If so, what width are they?

I really want a set of Motegi Trail Lites in 8.5" 0 offset, I don't want to settle for +18 if I don't have to.

This is using 17x9 0 offset wheels all else being stock (including tires) https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/threads/vossen-hfx1-17-wheels-on-a-2024-ranger-raptor.14749/

Yeah I've seen that thread. I wish the pictures showed how much poke there is better.

Do we know that the wheel is 9" wide? I asked but the OP of that thread never gave an answer.

OP also mentions plans to remove the crash bars as things are very tight. I'll be honest, I don't know what people mean when they talk about removing the crash bars.

Edit to add: Just Googled those wheels. Seems they only come in a 17x9, et 0. So that is somewhat encouraging. An 8.5 would have 6mm less poke. Not much at all, but something.

This thread shows poke with an 8.5" wide 0 offset - just ignore that he has 2.5" levelling collars in the front. OE tire size as well...

Also Vossens only come in a 9" wide for 17s and 18s for the HFX1s.

This is also a pretty good gallery of this platform (doesn't always list tire sizes or offsets though)

Not sure about the zero offset part, but just an FYI if you didn’t already know, the ranger has a 93.1 center bore.

Thanks. I did know. It's a non issue though. Basically all aftermarket wheels have a larger centre bore and the lug nuts will centre the wheel on the hub.

I’m running zero offset method 707s with stock tyres and offroad hard.

There is some minor rubbing at full lock on the mud flaps but nothing of any concern.

Negative, that is not satisfactory. You can run hub adapter rings between the wheel bore and hub to bring it hub centric. RTR also makes hub centric wheels for the Ranger Raptor that are super light at 22.5lbs in 17x9 0mm and 30mm.

I’m running Black Rihno Primm Bead locks 0 offset, but yes with the adapter. From what I have read not using the adapter can cause a minor vibration that overtime will loosen the lug nuts.
