Hi all. I have a 2024 Sport S (not max tow) with a leveling kit and currently running 285/70/r17 BFG K03s on OEM wheels. I ordered Icon Rebound Pros (17x8.5) and was considering 33x12.5xr17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers for the tires.

- Height difference is negligible (K03s might be a hair taller)
- K03s weigh 61 lbs each, NRGs 70 lbs each.

My questions to you guys:
1) Tires will be wider, on wider wheels with a -6 offset. Any fitment concerns here?
2) Currently I have no issues with power, fuel mileage, or finding 8th gear. Any negative impacts from the NRGs?
3) Anything other reason that I should stick with the K03s (aside from saving money)?.

TIA

I decided to go with 295/70/17 (33.3x11.6) Nitto Recon Grapplers. I think they look great mounted on the Icon Rebound Pros.

I would have preferred a bit less poke but -6 offset was the only option.

I ran the about 25 miles this evening to calibrate the speedo using JScan. I didn’t have any issues finding 7th and 8th gear and fuel mileage remained unchanged.
