Few wheel questions

hey guys i was at a local shop today and saw some nice pro comps i think would look really good on my truck. thing is i have the 265/70/17 bridgestone dueler revos. i would like the new rims to stick out a bit more than factory, and also what size would i need to get if i plan on going to a bigger tire in the future? thanks

heres the wheels im looking at. any opinions?

I'd go with a 17x9 inch wheel.

do you think being i have the 265/70/17s that new wheels would look good, and be sticking out a little farther with the stock size tires?

Yes, and your truck will look even better when you get some 285/70-17's or 305/65-17's.

yea id like to get them but these tires have like maybe 1,000 miles on them hahah so i woulda been just wasting my money. but maybe for now ill just get the new rims on these tires i have now...Thanks

o and the 17x9 wheel is wider than the factory wheels right? so will it make the tires look any wider or no? sorry i dont know too much about wheels

so this is the right wheel correct? 4.75 bs is fine right?

Those are nice wheels, Procomp has some nice styles. Personally, I never like how far in those wheel spokes sit, have you seen them in person? (I'm guessing you have at the shop) Anywho, do you think the two tone with silver/black will look nice on your white/gold two tone paint? Personally, I bought the 7005 series, but if your looking for the two tone, they also have some with a silver lip, I've seen it in person on a white 08 fx4 and it looked sharp. Honestly, for your setup, I think some nice rugged silver/chrome wheels would look even better, accenting your bumpers a little bit more.

heres a link http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/Se...0073&t_pl=5359

Just food for thought.. but this lineup of wheels looked a bit more agressive with some nice sized tires, gives it a more off-roady look.

yeah, i kick myself in the *** all the time for getting the 265/70/17, i bought them before i really started on this site. idk how they would look on those nice wheels. maybe ill crank the t-bars and it may look a little better. but thanks for the help guys
o and im going with a honeycomb style grille so it should look pretty good all together
