Are you serious? I live in Fruitland, work nights, and I’m off Fri/Sat.

This is extremely helpful and appreciated.You’re welcome, glad it helped. Wheels are simple but can be confusing as there is a lot of give and take.
Here is some more info that I didn’t include earlier. When talking offset, you have to adjust for wheel width. To give an example, your stock 7.5” wheels have +55 offset. Sasquatch wheels are 8.5” and have +30 offset.
Without consideration of the wheel width variance, you may just assume the SAS wheels stick out 1” further (25.4mm = 1” and 55-30mm = 25mm).
However, the SAS wheels being 1” wider has to be considered. Split in half that is 0.5” x 25.4 = 12.7mm, or 13mm rounded. So yes, the SAS wheel has less positive offset but when *width is considered* a 7.5” wide wheel with +55 offset is actually more comparable to a 8.5” wheel with +42 offset.
Again, the SAS wheels are +30 so they are still going to poke more but only 12mm more as opposed to the initial 25mm variance you get when ignoring wheel widths.
Below is a chart showing these relationships.
Another popular wheel is the RTR Tech 6 and also Evo. Both are 17x9 and offered in 0 and +30 offset. The 9” wide +30 variant is *very close* to the 7.5” width at +55mm, approx 6mm of variance (hair less than a 1/4”).

Hey Daniel!
Decent info above, but not entirely correct.
This is great info and I appreciate you taking the time to pas it on. Thanks!From the laptop.
Just for comparisons sake,
Adjusted the "new setup" to the sasquatch +30mm offset and 285.
If you want more height than the 33 (which is only 1/2" taller than the factory tire, you can safely jump up to the 285/75-17 at 33.8".
fwiw, I have 35 X 11.5-17 on Method 17 X 8.5 +35mm and the outer sidewall is just flush with the standard flare.
No rub on the street.

No knock of the calculator but its failure to account for wheel width is a flaw, not consensus it’s “more accurate”.Decent info above, but not entirely correct.
Wheel(rim) width is at best, a minimal factor in poke.
The offset and tire width will be the primary drivers of poke.
The best calculator I have seen doesn't even ask for wheel width.
