New Wheels??
I am looking to get some new wheels in 17" pretty soon and I have a few questions. I have a 2.5" leveling kit with 315 70 17 tires. As many of you know 35" tires rub on the A arms with just a leveling kit installed. If I stick to a 17 x 8 with a backspace of around 5"-5.25" will this allow me to clear the A arms since the back spacing will be a little less than the stock b.s.?? Also I wouldnt think that I will have to trim much of the lower valence with a wheel like that will I? Any and all info and opinions are appreciated.Thanks, Doug

I'm running the A.R. Crush 17x8 w/ 5.5" of B.S., they look like the MM951's without sticking out so damn much. They are wrapped with Toyo 285/70/17. Hope this helps.
