I also want to stay with 17" rims....... I have attached a picture of my truck and welcome any rim reccomendations........Thanks

I've been eyeing these wheels myself. 17" backspace is 5" or 5 1/4", 0 or +6 offset, with a load rating of 3420 lbs. http://www.racelinewheels.com/wheels.html

I want the XD diesel so bad but the offset and backspacing is different and the 17" wont even fit over the calipers. Maybe if we flood them with emails they will change it.

I saw the Monsters last week (or the week before) at the shop I frequent. They were mounted on a lifted black Titan and looked really good. They looked like 20's. KMC was doing a photoshoot for their upcoming catalogue. So look for a big red Silverado HD and a blue and silver Charger in the catalogue. They both belong to the owner of the shop.

If you like 17'' wheels and stock backspacing....why not just keep your stockers and powdercoat them black? Personally I don't like the wheels that stick out from under the truck........and I like the OEM wheels.....so here is what I did. $45.00 per wheel.
