    I'm looking to by a set of wheels. Really like the looks of the Spy black, but I am confused. I want 17" but the website says 17x8 +18 offset, 17x9 -12 offset. I dont want a rubbing issue so which will be best. Thanks

    How do you want the tires to sit with the truck? Mine stick out 1.5" from the fenders...

    i dont want a lot sticking out because of chipping the paint with gravel. I was just worried about the rubbing issues. After buying the truck, I dont have much $ left for upgrades and Im trying to keep him from knowing what is going on which is TOUGH!

    Thanks for the answers. I'm about to go into overload on all this and my wife is ready to choke me for all the time I've been looking at all this stuff.

    Make sure you do the lift first and then install the 285s.

    They do make a 17x8 with 0 offset too and they would keep the tires pretty well lined up with the fenders
