New wheels: Analog HD or Method 705?

[PC Austin]

@1979 I got the 0mm offset

I read on another thread users were not interested in the 0 offset. But I see it looks good. They also offer the 17x8 analog hd in a 25mm offset. Not sure what that looks like with an 8 inch rim vs the 8.5. Did you consider the +25mm offset and what made you go with the 0 offset ?

I see this guy with with the +25 offset. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...-impressions-review-photos.61234/post-2261568

@PC Austin I wanted to stay as close to badlands sasquatch stock as possible for my initial upgrade, and based on consensus from experience was that 0mm offset was still in the safe zone before having to deal with "potential" wheel bearing and other excessive offset considerations. The other factor is that 0mm offset was, from what I could find, the recommended size if I wanted to move to 37's at a later time, this factor also ruled out 17x8's as a realistic option as well as limiting a lot of tire choices too with a thinner wheel. Considering those factors I was down to looking at 8.5's or 9's, but a lot of the 9's started getting heavy and since weight was my main reason for ditching the stock wheels, 8.5 was the sweet spot for me. Pardon the long diatribe, I guess in summary it was about getting a high quality, lighter, low pressure-performant and non flashy wheel that I wouldn't have to replace if/when I go to 37's.

0 offset for me too. I was not interested in the 17x8” version since my plan was to run 12.5” wide tires from the start. The setup gives me the exact amount of poke that I like and once the body mount chop is done, there’s no rubbing.

Thanks. All this was very helpful!
