They are the Sparco Gravel 17x8's +35 (they make several offsets, these extended out 20mm past stock) in Bronze, and 255/70r17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W's! I had the same tires on before, but factory wheels and 20mm hub centric spacers (without they would rub), those were 265/60r18.

My mods list is quite large now lol.

How involved is a spring job like this? And does it require an alignment after?

I had my friends that own a shop do it. Took a couple hours including alignment. But yes, it did need an alignment.

Any change in ride height requires an alignment.

Rear springs are like a 30 minute job. Front springs require pulling the struts and using a spring compressor. Probably an afternoon for DIYers.

Any suspension work requires an alignment. You'll Ned a spring compressor if you swap springs. If you do the spacer lift, it can be done in an hour with normal hand tools.

Yes. And tire rotation every 3k miles.

Very true about the time on the spacers, but I'm glad I waited for the suspension, it rides even better than before.

Having a hard time finding the exact sparco wheels in that color and spec. Where did you get them? You have a link you can share?

It interesting. I got them from discount tire, and they are only showing +40 and +45 now, as when I bought them they only had +35 which is what I wanted...

Thank you for calling that out @gunsmithCZ and my apologies for the confusion @joshuabhall123.

On our end, the wheel is showing up for the Santa Cruz, so I'm not sure if the +35 was temporarily pulled down due to stock? It's back up now - here's the link

Looks like you won't see an option for the +35 offset version of the wheels if Santa Cruz is selected. I was able to find it when I didn't select any vehicle. I would guess this is due to manufactures not recommending an offset beyond 40 for our vehicle. I think if it doesn't hit the calipers then it will be fine.

+35 will stick out further than a +40. That's why I wanted the 35's as they come out exactly 20mm past stock.

+35 looks perfect man, you have a great setup. At some point I'll be getting a similar setup. Dream build for the SC would be a mild to medium overlanding rig. would love to get the flatout suspension coil overs, but need to see some real world testing to get me fully sold.

Thank you! Next is a over the bed rack, rig gear, and a rooftop tent. We are doing exactly that, building a mild to medium overlanding rig!

Appreciate you calling this out any my apologies for the browsing experience.

I was able to pull this wheel up as a fit for the SC, but had to search by size first, then enter vehicle details, which is not the most easy path to take. I'll forward this to our web team so that they can look into this further.

For reference, our internal part number for the 17x8 ET+35 in bronze is 119668 and I'm showing six(6) sets available nationwide right now.
