I am getting ready to buy these wheels I found on EBAY, I have a 2004 Scab 4x4 5.4L, I just want to confirm that these wheels will in fact fit on my truck with 35" 12.50 17 Pro Comp Radial AT's, they are 17x8 Incubus Poltergeist with a 5.37" BS. I have a 2.5" AS Spacer and Pro Comp Add-a-Leaf out back. Just let me know if I am good to go. Wandell or PawPaw I value your input greatly. Thanks and after this thread I will stop with the backspacing threads...

 

It will be tight, but they may fit. I believe Paw Paw has 8 inch wide wheels with 5.5 inches of backspacing.

 

what other sizes would work? wider wheel smaller backspace?

 

After your post, I read that Paw Paw said he had no rubbing with 35's on 17x8's with 5.5 inches of bs so I think you will be fine.

 

I think will rub, go with 17x8.....I have 20x9 with 5.25 backspacing and backing up down a hill I rub.

 

The 17x8's with 5.37 inches of backspace ought to work out OK, that's pretty close to what I have. They will stick out close to 1/4" more then mine and give you a total of 3/4 inches out more then stock. Ought to look great when finished!

 

thanks again for all the help guys! I am just waiting to hear back if they have the wheels i want in stock and then im going to pull the trigger and finally get this truck hooked up! paw paw whered you get ur brake pads? i saw in a previous thread you had carquest blue pads. i cant stand these oem brake pads, freaking dust everywhere its awful

 

some guy on ebay wants to cut me a deal, 17X8 with 5.25" bs will that size also work?

 

That will be exactly 3/4 inches out more then stock. It ought to work if you stay with the tires you say are going on your truck. And yes I have the carquest blue pads on my truck, they still give off dust mainly in the front but not as bad as the stock pads. They are semi-metallic but it may be better to go with ceramic pads. Maybe someone else can chime in. They do stop better than the stock pads! Any carquest auto part's store should have them or can get them for you.
