Default Will These Wheels Fit?

I want to get new rims for my truck and currently have the stock 17 x 8 rims on it (pic below). I found Helo He791 wheels and am wondering if they will fit my truck? I have Goodyear tires, size 245/70/r17. I don't know if the Backspcaing and offset will work, but i think it may.

Thanks for the help

if your ordering the rims just take ur stock rim off and measure from the mounting plate of the wheels to the outer lip, and that should be ur backspacing i think,

So will the 17 x 9 ones fit with the 5 on a 5.5 bolt pattern, backspace of 4.53?

They will fit. I had 17x9s with a 4.5 backspace and 35x12.50s on my '04. The rims were a little snug but fit just fine with no problem. Make sure you use a manual torque wrench on your lug nuts...not that I would know that one the hard way
