Wanting to get some wheels this size 17x9 5.71 backspace 12 offset. im currently running 265/70/17 but wanting to see the way the tires sit on the truck do they stick out any or r they flush with the side of the truck.? I'm wanting my tires to stick out a bit for a bit of an aggressive look. Pics much appreciated with what ur specs r.

Thx for any info

Anyone with anything close?

That's a pretty specific detail oriented question.

All I can tell you is if you don't get any additional help, get the rims your wanting, and it they don't give you the stance your looking for, you can always install spacers however big you need to give you what your wanting.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yeah it is one of those questions. Thanks for the info and yes true spacers r always an idea.

Thx again,

That wheel will stick out about 1 1/4 inches more then stocker's...best I can show is a 17x9 with 5 inches of BS.Tires are 295x70x17 Toyo MT's...the setup shown stick's out 2 inches more then stock.

Sweet..! Thx PawPaw. That's what I wanted to know. The guy I'm getting them from had them on a different type of truck 08 GMC and said they were flush with his wheel well but I figure he probably has different stock BS etc then I do. The wheels r dual drilled for both trucks.
I hope they stick out a little.

Thx again for your input.! Much appreciated.

They'll look good...more pics in my gallery with all types of tire and wheel's on my '04 that I had. Glad to have helped out.

Those tires aren't gonna stick out with that much backspacing. Backspacing is the distance between the wheel hub and inside edge of the wheel.
Offset is where the hub is located in relation to the wheel's center. 'Positive' offset is front biased, 'Negative' is rear biased.

Edit: I found this handy-dandy diagram on the web-o-sphere
5.7 is pretty deep backspacing, so you're gonna pull the wheel and tire inside.

Yes .21 more backspace then my current factory wheel of 17x7.5 backspace 5.5 however the new wheels r 17x9 5.71 backspace which is 1.5" wider then my factory wheels. So 1.5-.21 (added backspace) = 1.29 divided by 2 for going in and going out = .64 more outside which ur right is pretty minimal if I did the math correct. That's like a little over 1/2".

Pawpaw how did u come up with 1-1/4.? Just curious maybe I did the math wrong
