Hey guys, I'm looking at getting these wheels for my truck and was wondering what yall's opinions are on how they would look.

Here's a picture of the truck....I no longer have the cummins "C" on the window though



Here's the wheels

If there is anyone out there that has any pictures of these wheels on a patriot blue and silver 3rd gen I would love to see them!

Thanks

I was going to get the Spy's but I couldn't find them in the correct backspacing, so I ended up with the Addicts

Thanks for the input man

I have to admit that that I don't know much about backspacing. The one's I'm looking at are:
17x8
Offset: 18mm
Backspacing: 5.15"
Bolt Pattern: 8-165

Any idea how far they will stick out with a 35/12.50x17 Cooper ST tires?

Thanks

I'v seen these on a variety of trucks. I think they look pretty sharp.

With my 18x9 wheels I had to get 5.7 inches of back spacing. Plus I put a lift on that has axle forward control arms. I have zero rubbing at all.

thanks for the input guys keep it coming

I have a leveling kit only. Do you know how much rubbing I would have with these wheels and 35/12.50x17 Cooper Discoverer ST's

bansh-eman

No I sure don't. I went from stock to a 4.5in lift with 35's

Jason_K

ok, thanks man

kinda off subject but i also have front mud flaps on my rig but its a daully. but mite be something to think about..put weights on them(the chome pieces) they look sharp if put on rite..

I think being 8 inches wide equates to an extra half inch out compared to 9's. So that would be like 5.65 backspacing in a 9 inch wheel.


That skinny center slot will be hard to clean with the 17's and 8 inches is kinda skinny for 35x12.50s.

Jason_K

What would your opinion be on 33/12.50x17?

Oh, I forgot to ask, what size are the stock wheels? 17x8 right?

450r

here is the 17x8 i think it is that has the most backspacign to keep it close to stock they are little wider but dont hang out with 33s on it

Rednecktastic

Yes 17x8 stock aluminum wheels.


It's the wheel width thats the problem in your equations. I'd personally find a 9 inch wide wheel with 5.7 backspacing like a lot of other XD wheels come in. Or a wheel like the H2 that is I think 8.5 inches wide and has 5.5 BS. That's if you wanna run 12.50's.


From what I understand these don't rub, mine don't.




If you really want that wheel I'd go with a 285/75 possibly. Maybe look at 295 or 305 as well. Something skinnier. The manufacturer has specs on their websites for height.
