Is anyone out there running Centerline wheels in the 17"x8.5" with 6" Backspacing? If so, do you rub the control arms with 33"x12.50" tires? I've heard that people running the stock wheels (6.25" BS) rub the control arms with 33"x12.50" tires.

Centerline also makes a 17"x9" with 5.25" Backspacing. Anyone running this wheel with a 33"x12.50" tire? If so, do they rub the back of the fender and mud flap?

I can't make up my mind on which way to go???
17"x8.5" with 6" Backspacing OR 17"x9" with 5.25" Backspacing???

 

I have centerlines, 17x9 with 5.25" of backspacing and i am running 33x12.50 and no rubbing issues at all at full lock either way! No leveling kit......YET!

 

Thanks for the reply Sniper05...

Do your 33x12.50's hang out very far from the wheel well? I knew someone had to be running this combo. I just don't want my wheel sticking out too far or rubbing. Thanks again for the reply!

 

Not to bad, i think it looks good myself, but others might say they are to far out, i would say no more than 2"! It might not be that far, but i think they look good, i love the wheels but i think i am going to try to sell em to go with a 18" or 20" wheel and 35's, i might just keep em to run in the winter since they are billet, they just polish right up to a brnad new shine!

 

My LT33x12.50R17 Mastercraft Courser C/T's did not rub at all on OEM wheels on my 2003 RAM 2500.





Go with the 6" backspacing.

I just recently installed some 20x9 Ultra Grinders w/LT305/60R20 Wrangler SR/A's......no rubbing at all and no leveling kit, either. They are 5.75" backspacing and +18mm offset.

I hadn't seen those centerline wheels previously. Thanks for posting this as it gives me a proper option for aftermarket wheels that don't stick way out.

 

Sniper05... Do you have any pictures of your wheels on the truck? Thanks for the feedback!
