Im getting ready to purchase

Alright, so ive got the Bilstien 5100 leveling shocks, and ive got my tires (Nitto terra grappler 305/7/17), and im 99 percent sure that im gonna go with the 17x9 moto metal 957 matte black http://www.modbargains.com/product.a...04-08_MO957_MW and i was just wondering what backspacing to get, i dont mind if the tires stick out a tad, but i dont want it sticking out to far. Would the 5.47 backspacing be alright? Or should i go with the 4.53? 4 Wheel parts only sells the 5.47 and mod bargains only sell the 4.53, its weird.

Anyone see a problem with this set up. Im kinda shopping blind because i havent been able to find a pic of these wheels on a newer white ford.

This is all going on a 2006 f150 4x4 stx reg cab reg bed

I'm not too crazy for those wheels, but thats my opinion. Other than that it all sounds pretty sweet.

You left out part of your tire size. Personally, I'd go with the version with 5.7 inches of bs.

sorry, it was 305/70/17 but now that i think about it, they might be too big, so ill probably go with the 295/70/17

I agree on the 5.47 BS, either the 295 or 305x70's would look great on those wheels.
