looking to buy new wheels this weekend

ok im looking to buy some 17x9 wheels this weekend. the truck is a 02 supercrew with doetsch 3.5" spindles, 1.5" daystar spacer. im going to be running 295/70/17 trail grapplers. i called doetsch and they said i can run a wheel between 3.5"-4.5" bs. i had the same setup before with 16x8 with 3.625" bs wheels and it worked just fine but stuck out a little too much. so the question is that i wanna find a good deal on some wheels this weekend. The truck is maroon. I want wheel that is not polished or chrome. something clearcoated or black. i do like the XD spys in black. Does anyone have any ideas? I been searching for days now and im ready to buy. Thanks

Simma down cowboy.

Kind of hard when it comes to accessories, as each has his own opinions and likes. Maybe try the "wheels" section.. where all they talk about is wheels and tires.

Those will fit fine. 4.5 inches of BS is always the best choice for our trucks.
