I did some searching but couldn't really find anything. I want to get some 17"x9" wheels wrapped in 35s for when I level and put a bl on my truck. I will probably add a 6" zone or bds kit next year and still want to use my wheels. Just wondering if any one had any problems with 4.5" (-12mm offset) on a 6" lift. Especially when airing down the tires.

Hard to find wheels I like with a larger offset.

The issue with a quality lift and 17" wheels is the clearance between the inside of the wheel and the spindle.

Not sure what you're saying? Are you talking about the inside lip of the wheel contacting the verticle portion of the knuckle or the portion of the knuckle that the tierod end bolts to contacts the drum? I would think the limiting factor would be the tire contacting the tips of the control arms.

See that it says 37x12.5, but always leary about advertised vs. actual. The hell with it, I'm just going to go with the 17s.
