Wheels Suggestions For My Truck....

After the 4.5" Fabtech kit is installed.........I may look at some new tires and wheels.

Currently, I have the silver satin H2s with the BFG AT KOs, in the 315/70R17 size.

What wheels/rims do you guys think would look good on my truck?

So far, I have looked at the 17" American Racing Teflon Thugs, and the Helo Maxx 8 (black)

The XD 766 Black Diesel series in the 17x9 size look nice.

Plus, with a 5" backspacing they would look good.

Make sure u get atleast a 5.4 backspacing. Less then that looks bad imo. Get some black wheels for sure!!!

really? I thought since our trucks came with 17" wheels that all 17s would fit.....

The H2s have 5.5" of bs and I would like to push out the wheels a tad more.

The American Racing Thugs have 17" wheels in 5" and 5 3/8"......

I've always like the Avenue A520 and A530 wheels. They have a 5" backspacing which -- in my opinion -- looks good with 35's and around 4" of lift.

Ive owned alot of wheels and the helo maxx 8 is a nice wheel for the money black or chrome. they dont have lots of ugly rivets on them so they are easy to clean. me personally I think other wheels would look alot better on your truck and im not trying to bash on it I just dont like H2 wheels on a dodge or chevy

I love the H2s. IMO, you should lose the H2 center caps and powdercoat your H2 wheels black.

i agree. i have the ATS fender flares that D45 has, and with 8.5" wide wheels with 5" BS and 35x12.50x17 Toyo MT's, the tires and the flares line up pretty good.
