    I am having a OME complete lift installed next week and I ordered Fuel Boost wheels in 17x9 with a 5" backspace. I have Duratracs in 265-70 17 going on those wheels. The guy installing the lift said I may have some rubbing on the UCA with the 5" BS. Does anyone have any input.

    I've tested this exact fitment (9" wide w/ 5" back spacing and 265/70R17 tires) and had no rubbing on the UCA. I think you'll be just fine.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.

    The lower the BS number, the further the wheel is pushe out away for the truck. 4.5" is a common BS for 2nd gen aftermarket wheels

    The 5.0 BS was perfect on my truck. The Duratracs stick out about an inch both front and back. Im very happy with the trucks stance.
