KMC XD Spys....

Hey guys, i was lookin around for some black wheels and i came across these new babys from KMC in their XD line. I love these wheels but the only downside is id have to put new tires on it as well beings the smallest size they come in is 17". Anyway, heres a pic of the wheels and i went on a wheel simulator program and fitted the 17" wheel to my truck with a 2" lift as a leveling kit and 35s to see what it looked like. The simulator sucks on showing the wheel very well but here it is anyway. Please tell me what you guys think

I like them...Not too much bling and they make the truck look like it has plenty of attitude!

Wheels look very nice but looks to me like you need more than two inches of lift. If the picture is accurate.

the simulator isnt accurate, a front 2" leveling kit is more then enough to run 35s on. Everone and their brother runs em. LOL!

Make the setup stick out further and give clearance issues with the fender or bumper. Usually when you run that size tire on a leveled truck the wheels need to be as close to stock backspacing as possible.

Although I could be wrong, hopefully someone with a simular setup with chime in.

makes it harder to fit a larger size tire with a small lift.

I had the improper backspacing on my old wheels that I took off because I got tired of not being able to turn all the way, they were 33.14.5's but they did not fit because my rim backspacing was wrong, and this was with a 3" front lift
