I am thinking about taking off the centers on my factory wheels.

The factory center caps are kinda big and fugly, but the small push through style centers that come with most aftermarkets arent bad

What is the BS on those wheels? I've been looking for new wheels on mine and I wanna go w/ the same size tires. I just wanna make sure I get the right BS to clear w/ just a 2" leveling kit installed. I've been seeing numbers like 4.5" and -10mm etc.. Not real sure where the -10mm play a part. BTW those wheels are SWEEEEEEEEET!

tas,
These wheels are
17x8.5
15 mm offset
5 3/8 backspace
8 - 6 1/2 bolt......
What you have above will stick "way out"

if the BS is 5 3/8", what does the 15mm offset give you? I'd like to eventually put on some Bushwacker pocket flares and I'd like my tires to at least stick out to the edge of the flare.

backspace is the rear measure....
Offset is the front...? I think I am no expert... I ask Lorenz from Lorenze Industries about his offset and back space cuz he is running this same wheel in the teflon "THUG" In a day or two I can post photos of the tire on the truck.... Hang on I'll show you what I took today....

I guess it's throwing me off because they (wheel mfg.) use two different measurement types, inch and MM.
