Rim tire question
Ive searched the forums, but no solid answer was found. So here is my question. I have an 08 Rubi Unlimited, with a OME HD lift. I plan on buying Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 LT315/70 R17 on 17" Black Rock Type D Rims (black steelies). Now they offer the rims in 17x8 and 17x9, the BS for the 8 is 4.5" and the 9 is 5". So which rim would be better for no rubbing or would I have to get spacers anyway? Thanks in advance.

For your above scenario, between the two choices, the 17 x 8 rim with 4.5" of BS would be best.

I run 315/75/16 Kuhmo ATs on 16x8 black rock rims with 4.25" BS with no rubbing problems, on an OME HD lift.
I know you have 17's, but you should have no problems without spacers. I would stay with 17x8 rims as noted above.
