    I'm going to be purchasing Fuel Octanes, but I can't make up my mind what size to get 17x8.5 offset of 14 or 18x9 offset of 20. I have the 3" BOSS lift and plan on running Dura Tracs or Cooper Discoverer STT 285/70/17 or 275/65/18? I guess my main concern is, are the 17s going to look too small on a bigger & more aggressive of a tire? Also, if I went with a -5 offset would there be rubbing issues? What does everyone think? Thanks for the help.
