Let me see your wheels

I like them shifty. What are you thinking of swapping too?

OP, here are my cheap pro comp 69's. 16X8.5" with -4.5. MT Baja EXP 265/75/16

@shifty` Recognize that shopping area where you took those pictures. I work around Johns Creek at data centers all the time. If I see your truck I'm going to yell at you hahaha. So if you ever are out driving and hear someone yell "SHIFTY!" it's me.

 

Yup, Lextechs is who I had install wheels/tires/align. But I'm at the other end of the county from here, it takes me about 1h20 to get home, but they were "highly recommended" because of their "overland experience". Everyone was really nice overall, but not sure I'll be back.

 

These look amazing with your two tone

 

@vst my previous pics were 17x9 @ -12 offset (4.5" backspace).

Here (below) is 17x8.5 at 0 offset (4.75" backspace).

OEM backspace on the 17x7.5 wheels is 5" (+18 offset)

I was rubbing pretty significantly on a barely 32" tire with the 4.5" backspace. It all but disappeared when I went to 4.75" backspace and a smidge less-wide. I had zero rub with 5" backspace. Suspension specs in my signature.

Moral of the story? You probably don't want an option that's less than 4.6" - 4.7" backspace IMHO. I think the sweet spot for these trucks - at least in my case - is around 4.7" - 4.8" backspace. I'm flush enough to the fender at 4.75" that I think it still looks aggressive, but at the same time, I won't be slinging mud all over my body panels like I think I would've with the poke at 4.5" bs.

YMMV, everyone has their thing. This is just what I learned, the hard way, going through two sets of wheels in under a week. But hey - if you like the gunmetal wheels, they're up for sale in the wheels/tires section.

A Set of Random steelies I found on facebook for cheap!

Im running 265/75/16 Ko2's on 16x8 with 4.5 backspacing and no spacers

 

No rubbing at full lock in either direction, while in forward or reverse?

 

Thats same size im running in theory, and surprising no rub, even when flexing. It is close, i will prob look for slightly more narrow tire next go around.

 

And you are spot on about backspacing. If you value paint i second 4.7-4.8 BS
