I also found some inexpensive 17" wheels I like....


They come in silver, black with silver lip and all black.... I want to run 35's. Anyone know the best offset/backspace? I dont want the wheels to look too tucked in....
Option A. 17x9 @ 0 offset @ 5" BS
Option B. 17x9 @ -12mm offset @ 4.5" BS
one thing i didn't see mentioned on your steering issue, make sure the steering box is centered. these trucks are prone to wandering if the box is off center at all. it'll be easy to center when you install the new draglink ends.
