I can't find the style I have for sale in my quick Google search. The ones posted first in this thread are available.

They had many sizes available a year ago when I looked them up. Chrome and polished. These rims are a few years old. Some pitting and the chrome chipped in one spot too.

In better shape than my FX4 rims I use in the winter though!

Can anyone give me any insight on wheel and tire combo. I want the xd spy 17x9 4.53 backspacing and -12mm offset with nitto grappler at 305 70 17.I currently have stock 17x7.5 with bf 285 70 17. Will the new combo stick out farther to sit even with fender flare. I have no idea about how offset affects the stance. But I want my new combo to sit about 2" farther out if I am making any sense.

I love stock wheels with white letters. I have stock wheels with bfg all terrains on my truck. Not the best tire but they're good for on/off road and the tread life is pretty decent as well. Lightning wheels are an option too, they have 20 inch ones on ebay, the fx4 wheels too. There's quite a few nice wheels out there, I'm generally less of a fan of most aftermarket wheels however.

A negative offset will push them out. I just got 295/70/17 trails on my stock rims and they look great.


That setup that you are looking at would look great, but not sure it would push them out as far as you would like.
