These are the specs on the Procomp 6001 rim that I want:


17x9, 5 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern

* Backspace = 4.75 in.
* Max Load = 2200lbs
* Finish = Chrome
* Hub Centric = No
* Offset = -6mm

Does anybody know if these will cause my tires to stick out more compared to my 17x8 offroad edition wheels now?

They should stick out some more than they do now. The lower the backspacing the further it sticks out the side.

BTW you either want hub centric wheels or to make sure you get the rings to make them fit although, I've heard bad things about the hub centric rings. I think that's about the only option as most aftermarket wheels aren't hub centric.

So are you saying that the wheels I want are abnormal in the sense they aren't "hub centric". What does hub centric mean anyways? Also, if rings aren't a good alternative to making the wheel hub centric, is it not a good idea to purchase these wheels then?

This isnt working quite the way I wanted it to. I guess its because of the differences in the resolutions. Here is what I have so far:

Yikes. I know that isn't a perfect example. But do you guys think the chrome is going to look to alone with my truck? I don't like black wheels, but I feel like it might fit better. Arghh...idk now.

Dont let those make your decision. They are so bright because of the white That I couldnt remove between the spokes with out altering the pic.
