i believe you would need to run a 17x8 wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing (that is the setup I am running on my truck); I am sure Wandell will confirm.

I agree. You need a 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of bs.

I think that will be a better choice. With 33's, the width and bs on the wheel won't be as critical and you will have a lot more wheel choices.

i already have my wheels, there are rebel racing 17x8 with 4.5" of backspacing zero offset

here they are http://www.buywheelstoday.com/images_products/4492.jpg

i find it weird for them to have 4.5" backspacing and no offset because it isnt a deep dish looking wheel and it doesnt look like a wheel that would stick out far...

I hear ya there. Let me know how they fit, I really like the look of that wheel. I'm planning on mounting some 285's on them once I get them. I don't want my tires to stick out the sides too much, I figure with those rims it'll stick out 1.5" inches. I've had no luck finding a wheel that style with less backspacing.
