Ok fellas, close to pulling the trigger on new wheels and tires.

looking at 17 in. x 8.5 in., 5 x 5.50 in. Bolt Circle, 4.750 in. Backspace

i believe factory is 20" X 9" Offset is +19mm Backspacing is 5 1/4"

so these should stick out another 1/2 inch.

I'm thinking 315 70 r17's or even 325/70R17 as they appear to have a more streetable tread options than 35x12.5 r17s

any thoughts on this ideology? maybe .4 height difference pending brand?

these will go on at the same time as the fiberwerx fenders, so hopefully wont need spacers. or maybe i should get a 1/2 inch spacer anyways?

anyways, any thoughts? opinions welcome.
