Default 17" rims

I have 17 inch rims on my 06 screw. I bought some black aftermarket rims for it and I like them but they have too much offset. I don't want to put fender flares on my truck. Do yall know of any aftermarket 17 inch rims that will clear the calipers without sticking out past the fenders?

Thanks,
Jeff

need backspacing to be correct ...not offset, I believe stock backspacing is +35 or so.
what are the spec's on the aftermarket wheels you bought...

You dont have to worry about the calipers, offset and backspacing are not what clears the brakes.

A 17" wheel clears the brakes just fine, I am running them right now.

Stock offset is 44. Stay with anything above 30 if you want to stay close to factory look.
