Going Nuts With Wheel Choices

[magwakeenercew2jh]

As I build this money pit, I'm "running" on rallys. I'm not whining. I feel lucky to be in the middle of this build. And, I LIKE the rallys, for sure.

But, because I'm going to have to run around in flat black primer (sealed up), maybe even for a few years, without the paint and body work I want,
I think the shoes and wheels are going to have to provide some needed "bling". So, I'm shooting for either polished or chrome, in the mode of 5-spoke
Coys, Americans, or Boss 338's.

After reading, re-reading on the Forum, going to my local sources and new ones out of the area, I have pretty much exhausted my mental resources.
As for the financial ones, they seem to be limiting me to 17's or 18's.

So, I thought I'd ask in one spot, right here:

Does anyone have ideas on brand/backspace/tire size and whatever else makes sense or know about any wheels, starting at 17's and wandering up, I guess to 18's that are the style of Coy's, American TTII's
(Found a new one" American Racing Classic 100 $199/wheel +85.00 freight for four chrome 17's), or Boss 338's that are wide enough (9 or tens for the back, and 8 or 9's for the front) that and have backspacing
that will give enough "lip" to look good under the 4/6 drop 1/2 ton fleet?

Here's what I found: The 17 x 8's with the 4.5 in backspace, and the 17 x 9 in with 5 in backspace, when viewing on the shelf at the wheel places, just don't seem to have enough "lip", or depth.
I haven't been able to check out the 18's in person (with a tire on 'em), but the backspacing available on the American Classic 17's is 4.5 inches for the 8 in wide's, and 5 for the 9 inch wides.

Torque Thrust 18 x 10's offer 5 in backspacing (which works a little better on the 10's), and that would probably be okay. But they are about $300 each with an additional $18/wheel drop ship to my tire guy.

If anyone could or would post a picture, or pictures of your truck, and list the wheel size, backspace, and tire size, I'd really appreciate it. I know it's a pain. And everybody is ALWAYS ASKING, but I'm basically
lost in space, here. And I'm ready to buy some wheels. I'm just not bucks up enough to pay the $2,100 for wheels and tires that even the least expensive 20 set would cost..And those, (Bos 338's) as we all know...
...beautiful as they are...would mean some carving up of the "spindle covers" on the rotors....For me, $2,000, PLUS the grinding that I'm not very good at, sends me back to a different project that this build is calling to my wallet.

Thanks. I'd really appreciate the help out of this wheel dilemma.
