    Hi.

    I am currently running 255 85 16's on stock 16 steel wheels. No rubbing. I have about 2 1/2" lift on my 2010 regular cab 4x4 4 cylinder.


    I plan on purchasing some 33 10.5 17 tires (Very close to 255 85 16's) and I need to get some 17" wheels to go with it but the whole offset and size is maddening.

    I am trying to stay as close to my current wheel as possible to avoid rubbing problems but all the plain black 17" wheels I like and can afford are not an exact match to my Steel wheels.

    These are the ones I am looking at. What would be the best bet on not causing me any issues?

    Pro Comp Alloys Series 69 Wheel with Flat Black Finish (17x9"/6x139.7mm)
    • 108 inches
    • Size 17x9
    • Bolt Pattern 6x5.5 in.
    • Back Space 4.75 in
    My favorite look. But I am worried about the 9" size. The tires will be 10.5" and this is a big change from my current 7.5". Does not come in a skinnier size.

    Black Rock Yuma 17x8 Black Wheel / Rim 6x5.5 with a 0mm Offset and a 108.00 Hub Bore. Partnumber 908B-786045

    I am open to any other options with similar look and price.

    Thanks.

    This new setup will actually be lighter and the same size as what I have now. So it should improve performance if I can just keep it from rubbing.

    The 255x85 16 tires I am running weigh more than the same size 33x10.5 17" tires. The factory steel rims I have probably weigh more than the alloys.
