I just got an awesome deal on a new set of 35x12.50x17 bfg mts!! i have an 06 STX 4x4 with a 2.5 AS, ive decided on a set of pro comp 7005s but i dont know which size to get.....17x8 bs-4.5 or 17x9 bs-4.75 ????? i know i need to keep my wheels close to stock but im ok with trimming a little. Any advice would be great!!!

 

I have an '07 STX with a 2" leveling kit. I am running 17x8.5 AMP Bitterroots with 4.53 BS. I have Toyo Open Country MTs 34/11.50 R17s no rubbing or trimming. If you put 35/12.50 R17s with only a leveling kit on your truck you will most likely have some serious rubbing issues with either wheel you have mentioned...




Wheels with the stock BS would be a better choice with the tire height and width you have mentioned...

 

I agree. You need an 8 inch wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing.

 

thanks for the advice. does anyone have any suggestions on a good set of wheels that will work with my 35x12.50.17s?????

 

What color truck?

I like the Moto Metal 951 or the eagle alloy 079 or the 179.

but that is all personal pref.. think everyone likes something a little different.

 

its a blacked out 06 f150 STX 4x4.....i was thinking about the ATX teflon predators 17x8.5 +15 offset and 5 3/8 backspacing??? but they will have to go on 35/12.50 17r s, and i only have a 2.5 AS....?

 

Well, we know that size will work with an 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of bs. A 8.5 inch wide wheel with 5 3/8 will be really, really close.

 

does anyone know of any black wheels that are 17x8 and have 5 inches of backspacing???? good looking wheels at a good price??? i just cant hardly find anything with those specs. any ideas????

 

Haha...I've been looking for this combo for quite sometime now with no luck. 4.5" backspacing is very common with 17x8

 

I have an 8" wide wheel with 5.5" of backspacing with some 35's. There somewhat black if this helps.

 

I went from stock 18" to aftermarket 17" with 0 offset & 4.5" of backspacing and have 285-75-17 Toyo MT's (34" tall). I have an 07 FX4 with Bilstein 5100's that level the front with the back. I have no rubbing issues at all. I bought Centerline wheels from the factory at a hugh discount. They have overstock sales so take a look. Good luck getting pro comps cause the won't be available till late Jan 2010 at the earliest for most popular styles and sizes.
