Cool any rubbing?...just checking...please help

im stuck between getting the 17x7.5 fx4 rims and putting them on my truck...or getting the mickey thompson 17x9 rims with a 12mm backspacing being the 4.5 and thats the usual for my truck anyways so i dont think i would have a problem but i just want to make sure....idk what do you guys think would look nicer....the fx4 rims or the mickey thompson classic II i love both for different reasons..the fx4 because its 5 spoke and the other cuz it looks like an off-road rim....anyways any feed back would be awesome

Personally, I'd go with the MT's and some 285/70-17's (33x11.50) or 33x12.50 tires.

I would say slap on a Dana 60 up front and lift it another 12" and throw on some 42" Boggers.

...But since that isnt an option, I am gonna go with wandell and say throw on some 33x11.5 tires.

I am partial to the BFG's too. Here are mine, just a few weeks old now, with a rim that is VERY similar to the Mickey Thompson wheel you are looking at. The rims are 17x9 and the tires are 285/70/17's. You can get a feel for how they will look. (Rims are ProComp)
