im tellin you trying to find wheels is becoming a pain in the a?? trying to replace 20s for 17s and some say they wont work but finally found a tire shop that knows something about the products they sell. Now they say yea we can fit the 17s but only certain ones that have the right offset/backspacing and all that crap. So if you running 17s I would like to know what size/offset/backspacing and any other info. Please. the tire shop I visited today gave me a whopping two to choose from

 

First off do you have a 1500 or a 2500? Second I believe that BS is 5.5 stock

 

I have a 06 1500 qc 4x4

 

I would say between 5 and 5.5 inches of back spacing you should be ok but I would lean more to the 5.5

 

The have great tire/wheel packages all over the internet. They'll come mounted and everything....all you have to do is toss them on.

 

17x9 Mickey Thompson Classic II's, a solid, nice looking, no frills aftermarket wheel. 4.5" backspacing and -12mm offset. No fitment issues whatsoever...

Ive got 17's on mine but as you stated trying to find a tire that is the same size i have has been next to impossible. not that mine are needing a fix but i know that they will wear out. ive got Cooper Discoverer 275/70/17 s/t good tires just a tad bit loud on long trips.

 

thanks for information guys! I REALLY LIKE THE CLASSIC 2S. ITS NICE TOO KNOW I CAN ORDER THEM WITHOUT FITMENT PROB CAUSE YOU KNOW ONCE THERE YOURS THEY WANT TAKE BACK AFTER MOUNTING
