^^^ Ditto. They are one of my favorites as well. Same wheel I am running and when I change all the chrome to black on my truck, I have good intentions on going with them again but in their black form.....

Yes, althought I am not entirly sure the 4" lift is going to take out all the rubbing issues with the MotoMetals. I liked these rims too, but the 20x10 was just too much, unless I wanted to go to a 6", which I didn't want due to towing goosenecks. I talked to alot of people that told me at the locks I would still have rub.

Yeah, they are pretty good looking rims. It sucks that wheel manufacturers haven't caught up yet to these newer trucks in respects to fitment. I only found a couple wheels that would fit that I liked, my KMCs and I think some Helos.

Yeah KMC is definitely on top of things. Most of the wheels they offer are available in multiple bs's including 5.7 which is exactly what these trucks need.

Yeah, 5.7 (or 18mm offset I believe) is perfect... And like I said if anyone missed it I ran 315's on 17x9 rims with stock suspension and couldn't get it to rub in the couple days I had it that way. That includes full lock coming in and out of a couple ditches.

If my truck rubbed I'd probably put it back to stock. I hate when the tires rub on anything, do it right or don't do it at all.
