Im thinking about getting the XD Hoss or Diesel Rims in a 17 inch rim. I was advised that the Diesel probably wont fit in a 17 inch rim. So now Im leaning towards the Hoss anyone know the backspacing on this rim and how far it will stick out on my truck? Pictures anyone? I dont think Ive ever seen em on a truck.

Theres some specs and some of the best pricing I've seen

I would advise the 5.7" backspacing.

I would think these would stick out about 1.5" as the stock 17x8s have 6.25" back spacing.

I've seen 17x9 with 4.5" backspacing and they stick out a lot. Even with pocket flares they still stick out a tad.

I've got 17x8 Spys with 5.25" backspacing with 35s. Looks good with the Bushwacker extend a fenders.

That would probably be what I would advise to cover up the tires.

 

The 17" Diesels wont fit.(Wont clear the brake calipers)

Heres my truck with 17x9 Hoss, 5.71 backspacing, they stick out just a hair more than stock, and no more rubbing on the control arms at full lock!

 

I think it's +18mm or 5.7 for sure.

 

I have the smaller flares on my truck not the pocket style. I was thinking of getting the hoss with the smaller backspacing as I like the tires to stick out at bit. With my leveling kit and 35s are they going to rub bad?

 

Yeah it will rub. They stick out even with my 315s... Just right IMO.

Best bet is something like my set up in my pic gallery with power wagon flares. I don't like flares though... unless my truck had black wheels and a black ranchhand .

To run less BS you'll need to go up to a 4.5 inch lift. Or you can run 5.5 bs hummer wheels that come with 315's but that's the limit it seems.
