Which wheels?
I am going to order two front wheels to use with a set of 17x9.5 rears with 5.5 bs. What do you think would look better? A 17x7 with 4"bs or a 17x8 with 5"bs. The truck will be lowered about 3/4 . The rear tires are 275/60/17 and the fronts are 235/55/17 I think.If anyone has pics of the front wheels with these backspaces , please post them.
Frank

17x8's.
17x7's don't belong on anything except a fwd car, IMHO.

Re: Which wheels?
17x8's with a 255/50 and 17x9.5's with a 275/50.
5" BS is perfect for the front.
