If the 17x11 are going on the rear then don't put much backspacing in it and they will fit. Otherwise, if your truck is lowered or whatever, you fender lips could be in the way and the leaf springs would be in the way. Stay less than 6" of backspacing would probably be ideal.

Yea, I got a friend who has them on this truck. He went with a 6.5" backspacing and he has to go 4 link for them to work. It would clear fine with a 5" backspacing.

Yea, I might can get you one. He has a 5/7" drop and they won't tuck.....you either need to go 4link, airbags, or to a 9.5/10" wheel and then roll the fenders.

I have totally forgot about your pics....I'll get some for you. The problem is the lips on the fenders. What drop do you have?
