Wheel Help

[West]

Has anyone upgraded their wheels and not had issues with hitting the caliper? If so what wheels specs did you go with. Called up my local shop and they said certain wheels hit the calipers on RHO/TRX and they need to be shaved down.

I put 18" KMC's on. They "clear" but I did have to take sandpaper to the passenger front caliper to remove a very small casting flaw. While they do fit, I wouldn't be surprised if I cause some damage down the road with rocks getting stuck. I've blown out a wheel on my SxS with tight Clerance wheels, but That was in very muddy/rocky conditions. I avoid mud as much as I can. lol

With that being said, I'm glad I have the 18's. I refuse to go bigger. KMC does offer a few 18" wheels that do fit with no issue.

What backspacing and offset did you go with?

You must run a Can-Am X3 like me. I stepped up to 15” wheels to reduce the odds of those fly 14” wheel failures!

Your best bet is to go forged so that you can customize it to your truck. You can shave down your calipers to fit certain off the shelf wheels, but do you want to?

Did you keep stock tires? If you have some pics showing poke that would be appreciated!
