Default 17" wheels and brake calipers

I am looking at getting new wheels for my 13 screw 4x4. It has stock 17" wheels and I am going to stick with the same size for the new ones.

I have narrowed my choices down to 4 wheels:

- Fuel Throttle
- Fuel Maverick
- Black Rino Rockwell
- XD Spy

Whichever I go with will be +18 or +20 offset, depending on the wheel. Do any of yall run any of these in the 17" size? If so, are there any issues with the brake calipers not fitting with the wheels?

Also, any opinions, good and bad, on the above wheels would be greatly appreciated. I will be getting the machined/black.

Thanks! Good to know. I really like the Fuel Throttle wheels, but man those look very good!


Are the spys holding up pretty well?

That's good. They sure look sharp on your blue truck. Mine is silver, I think it would look good on it too. I am going with the Cooper AT3 285/70-R17 tires.

Nice choice. I've never ran a mud tire. I'm curious to know what they would do to mpg.
