GX550 Aftermarket Wheel & Tire Thread

Here is the side view of my truck with Westcott lift, +35mm offset Method 703s, and 35x12.5x17 Toyo AT3s at the manufacturer's specified 35 psi.

So with 11.5 tires and 35mm offset, picture my side view with the tire tucked inboard a 1/2 inch (your 11.5 would be 1 inch narrow, thus 1/2 inch per side. It would be a negligible difference.

If you are poked 10mm farther outboard with a +25mm offset, that's a bit less than 1/2 inch, so it should look essentially the same as my setup. You'll be a few mm inboard of mine, all else being equal. Again, negligible.

Prepare to be happy, you'll like the Westcott treatment!
Awesome! Thank you so much for the detailed response!!
 
Any issue with rubbing? I'm also looking at 35x11.5 on 17x8s with a +25mm offset with the Westcott lift. They suggest a +35mm offset but I'm wondering if the skinnier 11.5" tire (that maybe only measures 34.6") will save me with the 25mm offset?
There was a slight rub on the lower bumper trim. The plastic black piece. Trimmed in neatly about an inch and no other issues since. I'm on an 18x9 with a 20 offset. If you stick with a 35 mm offset no trim should be necessary

Did you need to install longer wheel studs for proper retention of the aftermarket wheels?
