Hey I just mounted up my new wheels, and had to tell somebody. My God this thing looks so sweet. 17x11 w/6" b/s on back and 17x9.5 w/5.5 b/s on front. I am only running 275/40 back and 245/45 front for now. I was worried about rubbing issues because it is lowered about 4" all the way around. No rub and I got room to go up. Anybody looking to run 17x11 rear use the 6" b/s, any more or less is gonna be real close. Anyways I bought the Centerline Rhino, what an awesome looking combo this turned out to be :D ! I wasn't that thrilled about the design but I needed 17" to clear big brakes and my wife liked that wheel so I let her pick, boy that was a good move. Made her happy and the truck looks great. graemlins/hurray.gif

Sounds good,Dennis. However,a 275/40/17 is pretty narrow for a 17x11 rim.

Yeah Clint, they took me about and hour to get the set mounted and balanced as opposed to the 20 min most sets take. The beads did not want to seat, just trial tires to make sure nothing is gonna rub before I mount up a new set of good rubber, still haven't decided on the final sizes yet, maybe275/40front and 315/35rear, but I really like the look of the short sidewall on the rear. Maybe try 285/40. BFG makes a real nice "w" rated g-force in that size. We'll see, did you check the link, let me know what you think. Did we nail the look or what? :D
