Hi all.
I have a '14 SCREW 250 Diesel on the way and in making my list of mods I came across an issue I didn't anticipate.
After reading the awesome "Quality or Crap" thread re: aftermarket wheel issues on SD trucks - I suddenly felt lost in my quest for "safe" wheels.
I am looking for a 17x9, black with minimal chrome / polish.
I have already been though the whole process of the load E tire thing and settled on the Kumho MT, 35x12.50x17
I ended up wanting to get the Mickey Thompson Classic Baja Lock (wanted the classic locks with the removable ring but they are discontinued). Problem is in the 8x170 17x9 they are 5" Backspace and 0 offset - I worry about excessive rubbing.
I chose these for looks but mostly strength and structure
Also planning on a Readylift Leveling kit with some block in the rear. Not sure how much yet (truck has camper pkg. so not sure how that affects the stance if at all)
Other things on the list are flares and maybe the smittybilt grille mesh
I appreciate your insight on the wheels (and anything thing else
).
Biggest question is will the tires rub with the 5" offset, etc.? I just don't want to make a stupid and expensive mistake.
Thanks!
