I have drop spindles in front so I am running the stock 17's there. Only need some for the back and just ordered them today to give them a try. I may later get a full set of better ones.
Only reason I didn't want them too wide is cause my truck is too low but I'm going to install my shock relocators and see if my air shocks will give me more clearance. If not, caltracs will be installed to help with the squating, I need to get them anyways since I plan on spraying some later . I am just trying to do away with out getting caltracs but I guess I am not going to be able to.

So what backspace did you order if it's only 4.5 on a 10'' wheel it's gonna stick out like a ****.
