Hey guys. Im planning on putting 17s on my truck and was wondering if offsets are an important factor. If so what should I look for? I have a 2006 f150 2wd. I plan on putting on a leveling kit and running 33 x 12.50 tires. Also, I have the 3.55 ls, with 9.75 axle. Just wondering if there are any aftermarket lockers or anything that would help with playing in a little mud. thanks for any help.

 

Yes, the offset/backspacing of the wheel is extremely important. Since you have a 4x2, I'd suggest a 17x8 to 17x9 inch wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing. The narrower the wheel and more backspacing it has the less chance you have of rubbing with 33x12.50's.

 

Thank you for the help.
