Arrow Opinions Please

On an 07 FX4 Flareside, what do you think would look best? I,m going with 17" wheels cause I like the look of more rubber and less wheel. Just personal preference.
1. 17"x8" Pro Comp 7005 with 4.5 backspace, 0 offset with 285-75-17 Toyo MT. This combo gives me height (33.8"), sticks out about 1.9" more and I think there shouldn't be any clearance issues. The tire is just not a lot wider than the stock setup.
2. 17"x8.5" ATX Predator (Black Teflon Finish) with with +15 offset, using the same tire. This setup keeps the height put pulls the whole thing in so it only sticks out about 1.3".
3. 17"x8.5 ATX THUG (Black Teflon) with same +15 offset but using the 33x12.50x17 Interco Trxus Radial Mud Terrain. This gives me much more width of tread but cuts down the height and may or may not have rubbing issues.
4. Or any combo of above tires and wheels.

What do you think? I need your opinions!

Those tires on 17" wheels give 34.1"s of hight not 33.8"s... here's mine...









AMP Bitterroot 17x8.5" wheels with 4.53" BS... Toyo Open Country MT 34/11.50 R17s have less rolling resistance than 12.50" tires which reduces the mpg hit...

#1 FTW as well. I love the look of the Toyo M/T and of those wheels, the 7005 look the best. Plus, I like em wide.

Good Luck

I searched for hours looking for 7005's in 17"x8 or 9 w/4.5 backspace. I looked at all the popular and not so popular websites and although they list them nobody has them. I'm told the earliest will be EOM of Jan 2010! The new Pro Comp styles should be out by the end of October so it's get something else or wait. If anyone knows of anyone that actually [B]has[B] a set let me know please. After dinkin' around for a year and finally making the decision it really stinks to find out nobdy has any.
