They all look great. However, you may want to check and see which ones are available in our 5x135mm bolt pattern. That will probably narrow your choices down.

yes i looked up the 9001 series they are a 17x9 5x135 they cost about $ 201 each. i think that would look good on my truck thats why i put that last and i looked up those nitto trail grapplers ($ 255 esch) and with that combination i think it would look sweet. thats exactly wat i was looking for thanks

If they fit your truck I think the Moto Metal MO958 are outstanding...

Man unless you have a lift or want to do some serious body work that won't fit. You could always add a 3" body lift, which is pretty inexpensive...would definitely be a great looking combo though!

I had mine done on my old truck but I just had a shop do them for $10 since it needed an alignment afterwards anyways. I think from what I have heard, you just crank them until it looks level. It isn't always the same amount of turns on each side, but usually it will not be all the way. Just as a FYI as well you will probly have to trim a small portion of the plastic valence on the front bumper with those 16x10's and 35's

I have always been a fan of the 9001's. That would be my first choice out of those.

If not those, the Moto Metal 959's look pretty sweet, and I haven't seen them on any vehicles, at least around here.
