Advice for new wheels 08 regular cab

I want some new wheels probably 17x9s, I really like the wide stance look but I don't know what offset or backspacing I should get to make em stick out a couple inches. I already have a 2 inch leveling kit to help with bigger tires...any and all suggestions please!

Re: Advice for new wheels 08 regular cab

I pretty much narrowed it down to the Mickey Thompson classic II 17x9's but now its either the 0 offset with 5 in. backspacing or the -15 offset with 4 3/8's in. backspacing. Im pretty sure the -15 give me more the look I want but would it fit with a 2 inch leveling kit and 285's? pics of a similar setups please!!

Re: Advice for new wheels 08 regular cab

Don't go too small. I have factory 20" rims on my 2011 and they look just about right on there. I am looking at a billet rim for the truck, but have not found what I want yet.

I don't mind the the 17s I just want em to stick out more, I just don't know which offset would fit and look best I also want to run 285s. What size tire are you running?
