Could you confirm @TylerGlassman?
The offset was 10.

Update also, the wheels stuck out to the point that when the car was loaded up and i went over bumps i would rub on the fenders. I got the wheels from discounttiredirect.com and they allowed me to swap them because they said i should have been told that the tire was that much different from the stock wheel.

Bad day that I found this thread. I'm an avid hiker/climber/MTBiker/Kayaker.... Basically I was searching around for a more rugged tire that would provide me with more confidence when hopping on the FSRs in BC or the grids here in Sask.
Ended up selling the kayak just before I moved here to Sask. (Definitely regretting that now).
I traded in my RAM Power Wagon in on the RVR as my driving is 80% city/highway and 20% off road. I just drive to the trailhead or a decent spot to stop then run off.
I have the roof rack cross bars and bike attachment for them.
Any tips on the tires?

this is it mounted above the windshield and on the front bumper, you will have to get creative with mounting brackets but it should not be too hard

So, might as well throw this here... Does anyone know tires that fit our rigs that can withstand tons of gravel driving.. Washed Crush Gravel, shale, and other sharp rocks are what I am exposed to.
