Sup guys?
Apparently i can get these in the proper bolt pattern for my TB in 17x9
Bore Backspacing
D51317909957 Black 17.0 9.0 6X127 (6x5) 6X139.7 (6x5.5) 78.10 20 5.750
Will these wheels fit our trucks alright or should i be looking at getting some 1.5" spacers to take the backspacing down to 4.25?

dmanns67 said:Not sure, but they do look pretty sweet.What size tire you planning on going with?
17x9 with 255/65R17 tires...most likely either General Grabber A/T2 or Pirelli Scorpion ATRs

dmanns67 said:Nice. Do you have a lift or are you running stock height?
I am quite fond of my Cooper LSX Plus 245/60R18 tires. Snow, ice, beach sand, and mud cannot stop them, the 4x4 helps as well
Stock height currently. Most likely going to be running either an RCX or Markmc lift kit when the truck gets the new wheels and tires. The goal currently is to get it onto said wheels and tires by next spring. It would have been sooner if it wasn't for the bs going on with having to change jobs and what not.

Heres another wheel im looking at: the Fuel Hostage...i will be at around the same 4.25 back spacing with 1.5" 6 x 5.5" adapters as i would be with spacers on the Fuel Torques i posted previously. These are 17x8.5 so overall the same stance in the end.

You may like these ones more then. A buddy of mine pointed me towards discount wheel direct and this is what they have that are a direct bolt on like the Torque wheels..but they are 17 x 8.5 so that will help with fitment.
I can get these wheels with a new set of 255/65R17 Falken Wild Peak ATs (same as the rocky mountain ats2 in the states), new set of TPMS sensors, new wheel mounting kit and tires mounted and balanced ready to go on...for $1750 shipped to my door...Now to put this in perspective...im prob looking at close to $16-1800 just for the RIMS alone here locally if i were to buy the chrome Hostages or even the Torques. The MB wheels are a lil more simple and will flow with the truck better.

Yup! It means im saving up a bit longer to get the full package but oh well. Im sure i can still hit my goal of having them on the truck by next spring. Most likely gonna try to order them and some markmc spacers during the winter. And since they have the same bolt pattern as OE and because they come with new sensors i can swap freely between the OE rims and the new ones and just pay the TPMS relearn cost each change over.

Get back to whoring... Wheel talk is for the tech side... The Fuels can be ordered with the correct back spacing.

Hostages look badass in person. Not cheap but sweet.
The mb are black...look cheap n ghetto with nothing to break up the black, not my style.
The black n chrome fuels you first posted are nice n I usually don't like black. I would run em. Different and just the right mix.

I know some manufacturers do make a red and black wheel but nothing for our trucks. I may eventually get the Fuel wheels but for now im most likely going to pick up the MB wheels i posted up earlier.
